Tamiya StuG IV

Post by Philipp Gross »

Let's get things rolling :D

Here's my entry - first released in 1976, a true classic:

As mentioned in the main thread, I already built one of these in 2008...ah, the memories :roll:
Image

Details aren't that bad:

Well, mostly...

Here's where I am right now:

I'm not doing a speed build, although I probably should. :lol: I'll be adding Zimmerit, which will conventiently take care of that hole in the side... :roll:

Wait! Waitwaitwait! :!: - Didn't I build one of those too :?: ? Without Zimmerit and with a really pathetic Revell solid colour hand painted camo?
If I did I threw it away years ago now... a shame since it would have been cool to compare ;) !

The party has started 8-)

I will have to get going soon, though it is No. 1 son's birthday today, so I am delivering a chocolate cake and presents, so it will be later tonight.

Nice start Philipp, come on Raoul, get that IV D out of the box :roll:

Creeping ahead at glacial speed compared to everyone else:

Mostly to blame is a somewhat weird cold I've had since Thursday, but also Revell putty which takes a whole day to dry before it can be safely sanded....Oh, and the Zimmerit it will need. I really should have picked the Crusader :lol:
