    Dave's Dragon 1/72 StuG 3

    Received today in the post quite surprised with the single spru. Not sure quite how to display it maybe a small dio but I'll get it built first then have a think.

        I've just ordered a metal barrel hopefully it'll be an improvement on the kit barrel .

              I don't think so there's not many parts at all really.

                Most of it is together just waiting for the barrel. I was enjoying the build and considering lots more 1/72 builds till I had the lights to put on, now I'm not so sure.

                          The shiney new barrel has arrived and is now fitted. For some reason the kit only really allowed fitting of the gun at quite an elevated position but I did a little cutting and filing to bring it down to it's current position.

                            The gun tube and break are a nice addition. Odd that it won't allow for more travel.
