discussion Dragon 1 35 StuG with Zimmerit, a blast from the past!!

[BattleshipBob]

To my big embarassment i never finished the StuG started on the group build :unamused:. However all is not lost, i have dug it out of the box of shame and restarted it, but no engine, could not get the CMK kit to fit and fingers crossed a full interior StuG hopefully not far away:thinking:

So here goes

 

[Jim R]

Shame on you Bob - never thought you would abandon a StuG and complete a ship! We do indeed live in strange times

You Bob? Abandoning a Stug? With your reputation? What were you thinking? I'll have to see how you finish it then.

Bob. I am stunned to my core.... That said I've still not finished three I was doing for the GB......:flushed:

Morning Bob.

I am saying nothing, though thinking about it it must be a change of heart, come on admit it you really want to do a T34 and in 4BO:upside:

 

[Steve Jones]

Go on Bob. I succumbed to the darkside and now I'm building a T 34.

 

[Strenko J]

Oh no say it isn’t so..bob the stug possibly having to potentially make a name change because he didn’t complete a stug build...no no no no.. where will the madness end...lol

Right back on the land of the StuG

I have always followed Dragons plans by attaching the fenders to all parts of the superstructure then in one piece fitting to the hull, but, its fiddly and the fenders never sit quite right so.

Added the front section holding the drivers inspection hatches to the hull then fitted the fenders to the hull followed by the main section. This was fiddly but went ok and finally the engine deck just clicked into place, looks a lot better, thank god for that!




Not far to paint!

Bob
Not going to lower myself and associate with the comments above, just to say a Stug would be a good starting point.

Bob. Is this the Dragon 6633 kit we discussed in PM?
