discussion Dave's Dragon 1/72 StuG 3

[BBdave]

Received today in the post quite surprised with the single spru. Not sure quite how to display it maybe a small dio but I'll get it built first then have a think.

I've just ordered a metal barrel hopefully it'll be an improvement on the kit barrel .

A Stug fest!!! Front and centre for this one. Any internals in the kit Dave??

Dave, you can't go wrong with one of these. Will be watching.

I don't think so there's not many parts at all really.

Fingers crossed I don't go wrong then.

Most of it is together just waiting for the barrel. I was enjoying the build and considering lots more 1/72 builds till I had the lights to put on, now I'm not so sure.

Dave, Those are huge. They are really tiny in 1/87 scale...and then you add the wiring:smiling5:
She is looking good! Cheers, Rick H.

Looking very good so far!!!

Missed the start of this one Dave, some cracking work so far.

The shiney new barrel has arrived and is now fitted. For some reason the kit only really allowed fitting of the gun at quite an elevated position but I did a little cutting and filing to bring it down to it's current position.

The gun tube and break are a nice addition. Odd that it won't allow for more travel.

Nice work Dave. It certainly looks the DB's now. Cracking build:thumb2::thumb2:

That looks really nice Dave, the replacement gun looks superb.

 

[BBdave]

I've got some paint on it's not the best camo job,I've never done fine lines before but it's all practice.

I've started getting some washes done to try and get the details to pop.
