Looking great Steen
Cant wait to see it live.

Thanks Robert

Did some work on the shock absorbers, installed them with a sping cut to the length I believe should work. Field test in the spring will show

It's been a while due to a house move, but the build is slowly starting again

Did some welds on the top compartment plate

Nice to see that you are up and running again Steen.
Great work with the welds.

Robert

Thanks Robert

Question to all the StuG III experts

The periscope opening have a sider to cover the opening when not in use - this makes perfectly sense

I have seen in some builds that the slider is cut into 2 pieces where the short part is being hinged. I have looked through various Stug III reference books and this is a quite common way to do it.

My questions is - Is the functionality of the hinged part being a shot deflector in a upright position as it does not cover the periscope opening when layed down

Se my mock-up pictures

Slowly progress on the build

Welding simulation of the stug3 casemate is done

Looking good Steen.
I always wanted to do a Stug 3 but it is too close to all the work I've done on my Panzer 3 and I don't want to go through all that again.
Cheers

Hi Tim,
I understand that and bye the way - your panzer 3 is looking really good

slooowly but steady

A bit more done on the stug3

Looking realy good your StuG. I'm still on the hull basework. Looking forward to make some detailing

Nice work on the engine deck railings
And some great accessories too, it will be a great StuG

did some rivets work on one fender. I use 2mm threaded rivets from Knupfer to secure a good grip of the brass plates with 2mm fasternes.

Great work you are doing Steen.
Real eye candy what you do.

Robert

Made a bit on the stug today

Did test fit all connectors for the electronics

Now only battery plus reciever needs to be connected and off we go
