Bob's Sturmgeschutz GB Chat thread

[BattleshipBob]

Hi mr Wulf

Welcome aboard, good to see so many Stug sad cases lol

[Lee Drennen]

Bob may I join in? I have a few in the stash I may not build them as accurate as others but really enjoy building them. I would like to try my hand at winter camo on one of these thanks

[BattleshipBob]

Morning Lee, of course you can and its free

Accuracy, do not too close at mine! Just enjoy the Stug!!

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Bob I will try to educate myself before the build. I just want to have fun with it I think it’s a neat tank

[BattleshipBob]

Having fun and learning is the reason i went for the GB. If you need help with Stug info just ask

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Bob I will

Here is my offering, Bob StuG, please note it will be in 4 BO Russian Paint work .
Although I have been told that the Russians used them after capture I can find no certain evidence. It's thought they were sent for evaluation as I had posted earlier .
Anyway there are two ,yes Bob Two to choose from.
Suggestions to which one would be better suited to me would be gratfully accepted .No it's not going to be either on fire or burnt be out. ..............yet.

Is that a very old Academy kit? If so, you might not have much to choose between the two — if you open the boxes, chances are the sprues are almost identical aside from the manufacturer’s data.

Aha, here we go …

Tamiya:

Yes, the parts are elsewhere on the sprues, but nominally in the same place if you mirror parts of the sprues, or move whole blocks of them around. But look at the parts breakdown and their actual shape. If you were to swap the instruction sheets around, I wouldn’t be surprised you can still build both of these kits without noticing anything amiss.

[Allen Dewire]

Great idea Bob,

I forgot I had a goody in the stash for my StuG too. It looks pretty nekkid inside the back.....



I guess we have to throw this baby in there! It's for the Tamiya kit, but I'll make it fit...……...



I love the smell of fresh resin first thing in the morning…………...……………….

Thanks Jakko, so basically the same , well first one off the shelf then :smiling3:

[BattleshipBob]

Evening John, green, green, green, thought you might lol. Crack on sir but do not forget------ wait for it, wait for it!!
I will have a look through my small collection of books to see if i can find any pics of the IV running on vodka!!

Hi Allen, thanks depending how well the interior goes? The boxs just say for Dragon kit? So like your beauty, hit it lol.

Might turn into build too far!!

[AlanG]

I've bid on (and lost) a few auctions on evilbay. But still plenty of time to get a kit. Going for a Stug III Ausf. G or an IV. Just so i can do it in SS markings lol

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Al, hope you are well

The SS used all versions, as you say loads of time
