And there I was thinking Stummel was German for glue....:rolling: as in glue gun - just get my hat and boot in the - as I leave....

It could be you’ve mixed the spare wheel in with the others.
No Jakko, that's different again, and there's only one.

As can be seen, there were different wheels used as well (pic for discussion purposes only). PaulE

Odd that they give a mixture and not explicitly tell you.
They do tell you Jakko, but they don't show them in the painting guide.

Just wondering if that could be to do with weight. The solid wheels at the front compensate for the weight of the gun etc, and the rear two sets are there for the lighter weight of the engine. Just something that twigged a cell during my driving days.
I don't think so as there placement seems random in the few photos where they appear, besides the /2 Puma had more weight on front with turret & 5cm and photos of overloaded /4 I have show no 2holers. Just a case of at hand usage I think. PaulE
Late to the rabble again, sitting with my optivisor on to watch
After a busy few days with 1:1 stuff, I've done a bit more. I don't think I'll ever get the hang of airbrushing small mottles - whatever I do I seem to get spidering and splatter. :disappointed:
Oh well, it'll look OK from a distance, if you squint a bit.
Added a few more sticky-out bits, and the second fire extinguisher that I'd forgotten:
A bit more hairy stick work needed and then I can put the wheels on.

Pete,
Looks good mate the odd blemish can be lost with weathering and washes.

Pete,
Get a hole punch and randomly punch holes around a pre drawn pattern on thin card, I use the card that comes with Eduard etch sets. You cab then euther hold the card or double up some masking tape to hold the card away from the model - gives you a soft edge.
Remember these vehicles were painted in the field as well as the factory, and the ordinary squaddie was not Picaso...
Cheers, Mike.

What a good idea Mike, wonder if that can used for the He 219's camo??
Thanks Mike, I'll try that.

Handy Tip No 126 from Mike.
That should do it Pete if your still not happy, I'm with Paul on this, once you have a bit off weathering mud etc it will look perfect .

Well, decals are on, and I've started getting it dirty:

"Stummel, Stummel, spoil and struggle", as Shakespeare almost said! Now finished.
I'll put up a 'completed' thread in a few minutes.

Pete,
That is a great result and hard to believe it's not a bigger scale.
