Mick C’s 1/35 Academy Stug

Time for the STUG purists to look away. Build nearly finished, vague instructions and locations for some parts but its definitely stug shaped. Just got to finish the side panels, join the two halves together and box in the big holes underneath then splash some paint on it. Now I've done this one it has inspired me to have a go at a better one.

Taxi for Jones!!

You may be shocked to hear that i rather luv the StuG, BUT all thoses blasted wheels and seams, aaarrgghhh

[BattleshipBob]

Mick looks mighty fine to me!!

I get the strong impression you fixed the whole of the commander’s hatch upside down … The periscopes stick up very far, don’t have the flat ring over them and face inward at that

[Mickc1440]

I did say the instructions were vague, should come off easy enough

Thanks to Jakko noticing my error I had to call home to let the dog out, couldn't resist a quick trip to my desk. Fault rectified.

Looking much better, and you can’t even really see it was the wrong way round once

[Guest]

Very late in so apologies Mick .
It's seems to me that from what you and others have said there are some pretty ropey sets of instructions in StuG land. I'm like you in thinking I'd like a good version to have a go at rather than have to assume that the parts are correct and in the right position , I've had a front light bracket I've no idea which way up it should be purely because the drawing is so poor.
Your is looking very StuG like , you should be pleased .:thumb2:

Very nice Mick. Looking forward to seeing what colour scheme you go for
