Yves Stug III update

[florian rudolf]

It looks realy great.
I used 4mm wide and 1,5mm thick alu on that rack the last time.

Thanks Florian,

I see that you did used the rivets on your fenders, sometimes you see bolts on the fenders.
I am in a doubt what i gonna use, i like both , difficult to choose

I also wanne make theholders for the side skirts, to protect the wheel, but i can not find mutch info about that.

Best regards Yves

Hello Yves,
i like the rivets. It looks good.
I think the side fenders spoil the overall picture of the StuG. Maybe I'll do the mounts.
I think there is a StuG from Revell with the side fenders.

cheers
Florian

Hello Florian,

I will try to do the mounts and maybe some side skirts, the skirts are easy
to remove if tou want.

Best regards Yves

Thanks for the compliments guys,

The hull got his first layer of Tamiya TS-3 dark Yellow and a weld on the back.



Did also some welding on the top back of the stug,

It's bit early to get legless

[Adrian Harris]

I hate to raise this post surgery, but I thought StuG crews wore the grey/green uniforms rather than the Panzer black ones ?

Adrian.

[yves mouton]

Hi Adrian,

I know, but i like the black panzer uniforms ,
so all my tankcrew members are the same in black

Best regards Yves
