The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Has anyone made a saukopf mantlet for their StuG III G? I've been fiddling with the idea ever since I purchased my kit.
I think that later Gs with that mantlet just look 'purposeful'; the cat's whiskers if you will.

I've made one in 1/10 scale; cast in aluminium, years ago and was thinking of scaling it up or perhaps working with someone who's
possibly printed on up on a 3D printer.

Hi Jerry
Dave Dibbs used to do one for their Stug 4 not sure if he still has a mould for it.

Hi All,

I did it for the PIV many moons ago and the master now resides with a certain Mr Harris.

Best regards

Dave

Hmmmm. Ohhh Mr. Harrisssss!!!

So, there's good news and bad news...

The good news is I am the new custodian of the Spearhead Armour castings and masters, or at least some of them.

The bad news is it's all in my storage facility and I shattered my collarbone on Wednesday in a cycling accident and can't drive for a few weeks.

Owww! Sound horribly painful. Hope you mend well and quickly. Tanks and parts are secondary to one's health and well being....

Get well soon Adrian.

Thanks guys. Fortunately it hasn't been painful, just very inconvenient.
