Bob's Sturmgeschutz GB Chat thread

Doing ok thanks Bob. Working hard at the moment. So no time for building my 109.

The SS used all versions

Oh i know. But i am going to use the build for a diorama with SS figures wearing Dot 44 kit.

Ok, a G or IV then. However as the war went pear shaped a few old Stugs where used. Seen a pic of a GI on a A or B!

I've just been having a sort out in my den and look what I've turned up from the darkest of dark corners!


So add me to the list please Bob?
I'm not bothered about if this Mk. did or didn't have, but I'm going to put on home made zimmerit, concrete, all sorts of stuff - and then to top it off I'll paint it in that wonderful 'Disc' camouflage.

Roll on the fun times.... :upside: :thumb2:

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

Though Scalemates doesn’t show them as such, most early Academy kits are straight copies of Tamiya ones. I remember they weren’t even allowed to be sold in this country in the 80s — I needed tracks for a Sherman that were at the time only available from an old, out of production Tamiya M10 tank destroyer, and someone gave me the tip to phone a certain shop and ask for the tracks from the Academy version of it. When I did, the man on the other end asked who had tipped me before he would agree to sell them to me.

Thanks Beowulf, always run from figures but if i am going to do a engine removal then figures it is unless they have gone to lunch lol

Bob,

Just wanted to check that the Stug E-100 qualifies for the GB before I order it?

Finally decided upon my entry....ok ok I know it’s not till December and I know you’ve built one Bob, but it was only £23 delivered!

It has Indy tracks, Photo-etch and untold over-complicated fiddly bits that the carpet monster will enjoy.....roll on December :smiling5:

No worries, thought that might be the case, hence why I checked before I bought.

I might have a go at one of the Bronco offerings, although nobody seems to have them in stock at the moment.
