    A shelf queen in hiding. Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV

    Having a good old look at whats left of the once mighty stash, found this at the back of the metal shelving in the attic:rolling:

    Its been started, but only added the rear panel and exhaust, no idea when i started or even stopped the build but it must be over 18 months ago.

    Going to either use tri camo or disc camo, not sure?

    But will modulate, chip, scratch, mud, dust, fuel leaks, battle damage etc

    Very close to the end of the shelf queens, thankfully, all my fault of course

    Sorry no cake, the cat eat it, honest :tongue-out3:

      Well a bit bigger!

      They did look at fitting this gun in to a StuG, but rather too long!

        That I did not know. As you say not a short gun.

          I think the recoil would have knocked the rear wall out lol, plus the extra weight would have totally over loaded the already struggling torsion bars

                              Bob,
                              Can you use those little round stickers you get in art/craft shops as a mask?
