Si B’s-Miniart StuG III O-series 1:35

[Si Benson]

Here is my entry for Mr StuG’s, StuG GB.





And here’s what in the box





Won’t be starting straight away as I’ve got a few builds on the go already.
looking forward to this though:smiling4:

Morning Si,

Looks typical Miniart - lots of tiny bits but very complete looking. Not much need for aftermarket parts with their kits

I’d forgotten this GB was due to start - I’ve not managed to finish anything yet from all the other ones :smiling4:

Hiya Si. I'll be following this build. Like you i am not starting straight away. I have my 109 and P-38 to finish too

[Gauge1TrainsDK]

This is going to be very interesting to follow. Havn't built a MiniArt kit before, and I have this one and some of their Pz. III's, so I will take notes!

I don't know if this would be considered "spoilers", but panzermeister36 did a post build-review of the kit here, which may be useful:

I watched this guys review a few months ago and nearly died of total boredom :sleeping::sleeping: :smiling5:

Fingers crossed it goes together as well as their T60 I built recently. I know Bob the StuG built one so I’ll quiz him if I get stuck

Hi Alan,
I forgot you were doing a 109.....just been over on your blog having a look, lovely paintwork :thumb2:
I’m also well into a 109 build ( G-4) picked the Eduard kit up for £12 to make an order up for free postage and got to say I’m enjoying it.


Been adding the decals and so far I’ve not buggered it up:nerd:.....so far!!!

Hi Si, first one ready:thumb2:. Not home so will post my effort later

I found the suspension a bit of a pain with many small parts on large sprue gates. So be careful cutting and sanding!! Otherwise a good kit but fiddly

Hiya Bob,
I do recall you saying the suspension was a bit of a fiddle. I shall take it slow and steady for that hit then :thumb2:

[BattleshipBob]

The tracks are ok and come with a jig and pins on a tab, i made them in one go. Do not almost lost the plot lol

We have a saying ”the devil makes work for idle hands”. I’m gonna be a saint by the time this is done:smiling5:

Glad you like the 109:smiling4: I’m trying hard to make a decent go of it!

[AlanG]

Your hard work is certainly paying off Si
