This might be the last STUG update for a while as we got a call earlier from the stepdaughter who is on her way back with baby so bye bye desk for the foreseeable. First pass over with top coat.

Hope all goes well with her return Mick .

Looking good Mick, progressing fast and furious:thumb2:
Shame your loosing yer bench for a bit...but family first I suppose

[Mickc1440]

Need some help gents please. Rubber band tracks are heading for the bin. Can someone suggest a reasonably cheap replacement please?

Hi Mick,

Happy New to you and yours and great progress on the StuG IV. Replacement tracks for the Panzer IV chassis are to be found, and can have high prices. AFV Club make a set AFV35179 that go for about €18 here. Riich makes a set of Ostketten RII30008 that are also not too expensive. Rye Field Model also make a brand new released set RFM5037 for around €20.

Then there are Friul and Master Club that are more expensive. You might want to check evilbay for a set of Dragon Magic Tracks for the PZ IV too. HTHs.

Prost
Allen

Evening Mick

I have juts used the easy link tracks, so easy to make but getting very hard to find, no drilling etc

[Mickc1440]

I’ll keep looking

Just got to look at this one Mick, and it’s looking very good

Are the rubber bands really bad Mick?

Are the rubber bands really bad Mick?

One had been twisted in the box and refused to behave and both seemed to be about half an inch short. I didn’t want to start wrestling with them and damage the build

Hi Mick sorry to hear about your tracks, I've got the one left over from my build if that's any help but they are Tamiya, there yours if you want them.

Many thanks for the king offer Pete but I think I’m going to try and find something other than the rubber bands, I don’t swear enough when modelling
