Bronco 1/35 StuG III D North Africa

[Guest]

Brilliant guys! Well spotted Simon and Jakko. Many thanks for pointing out that school boy error! I will correct it today and also remove the piece of PE. Many thanks. :thumb2:

Looks very neat indeed James, and not a bit of glue showing. The sight of those PE sets from Voyager reminded me of the time I built that first StuG, realised then that PE and I don't get on.
Like how you've done the track guards separately, no doubt your Broncokit is better than the Zvezda and they will fit and allow you to get the tracks on .
Can rack looks the part .

Thanks John! I'm very pleased with it especially as it was my first StuG and first Bronco Kit. May I say I am loving your GB Entry! Very good build and very realistic paint job! Also seeing your entry has me thinking of creating a small desert scene! :nerd:

Hi James
Late to the party - sorry. Just too easy to miss things on this very active forum. I doubt there are any mince pies left seeing the gannets your build has attracted :tongue-out3:
That is a great looking kit. Certainly not a low parts count. Construction done and very neat it is too. As for the hatch - there isn't a modeller who hasn't done something similar. Simon and Jakko are the 'eagle eyes' of the forum - always good to have them around.
Looking forward to the paint and the desert dio.
Jim

Jim I am not a gannet, I caught the first bus! :smiling3::upside:

Hi Jim! How are you buddy? No need to say sorry at all. To be fair this build was very OOB and very straightforward.
You have missed nothing. Apart from the mince pies and party buffet which John devoured! :tears-of-joy:

Absolutely! Big thanks to all the guys. Advice and encouragement is always on hand which is great.
I now have the Model Air German Colours Jim so can't wait to get a start on painting. :thumb2:

Just popped in to see how you are doing James. It really has come together well. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the wet stuff

[Guest]

Many Thanks Steve! I have eally enjoyed this one buddy. I found it a really nice build, so far anyway! Had a bit of difficulty with the Jerry Can holder at rear of StuG but got there in the end.

Just today I found some really good looking DAK Figures that I may introduce to a little Desert Scene.

Now remember Figures really are not my strong point but if I don't work with them that will always be the case...

So I have a Masterbox Motorcycles Kit in the stash and with these two standing by the bikes it may look decent?

Hi James

Coming along very well. Next step paint, looking forward to that

[Guest]

Thank you very much Scottie and Bob! Probably one of my quickest builds, most likely due to being in the GB but partly due to being a really nice build.

Can't wait to get the paint on and apply some very light weathering but left the Kit at SWMBO's so no further bench time until the Weekend. :disappointed:

I did make a start on the tracks and so far so good with them. The little Kit supplied Jig thing is great. It also allows you to insert the pins a few at a time.

I will complete the StuG before I go on to do any figure work but the more I look at these guys the more I like them.

They are on Ebay UK but here is the link to Scale 75, in Spain I think, for you guys to take a look at some of their offerings.
