Dennis
Thanks for the numbers.
The pictures show what a nice job you are doing.
I said all along that I was going to do a stug on my PzIII,
but I have been finnishing my Panther that ran for the first time
about 3 weeks ago that was a great feeling.
I have just bonded my bushes in the suspension bars but it
is to cold to work in the workshop at the moment, so I have been
getting books together on stugs and reading them and making card templates for the pannels.

Keep up the good work

Derek

This is one superb build - I can appreciate the work that has gone into this build. I built the Bandai Stug IV a few years ago and really liked the vehicle but the Stug III is even better looking. Please keep the photos coming.

Hi Dennis

The Stug looks terrific, you certainly got that up and painted very quickly. Job well done. I wonder how long it will be before Mark and Gill decide to do this important vehicle. I hope not to long. It is a real eye catcher and a worthy addition to the collection.

Best regards

Dennis,
Really nice conversion. I love the camo and subtle weathering effects. Really nice. I hope you get the price you are looking for.
