StuH Ausf F (Russia -Dec 42).

[Laurent Moitrot]

This is how the bugger looks today.
One coat of white, barely weathered. In December 42 these StuHs were less than a month old and the pics do show a rather clean whitewash.
Now I'll deal with the stowage and then the undercarriage ...

The look is getting there. Starting to look like a weather beaten beast.

Roy, thanks for the kind words.

[Dario Risso]

Looks great, Laurent!! The only thing I don't like is the tow wires; I prefer to use wire leader (a steel wire used in fishing...eve when I've not fished ever )
Waiting the next steps

Thanks Dario. The cables I think come from one DML pz IV ausf H kit ...

[Roy Schlicht]

I think once the tow cables are weathered they will look alot better.

The sun was shining in my living room so I decided for some pics ... not they're a success but at lesat they show the latest improvements.
Note that the stowage and extra track links are not done yet. Still some painting to do.

[Dario Risso]

Look nice at the sunshine, Laurent. I don't know what other process you will add later, but remember to add paint chipping on the hinges.

When I built my Pz III M I had the same issue with the scarf on the LH fender; I put a MG ammo box covering the scarf, with the intention of put a infanterie soldier with a MG standing at side (wich I never did )

Dario, this fender issue is so obvious that I fear I'll forget it too. LOL.
Of course I still have to work on the details such as hinges, tools and the likes but at least everything's in place now minus the tracks which soon will be on, maybe today.
The details as far as I am concernd always take ages to be completed.
Here's what makes the story more complicated is that the Pz IV Ausf J is waiting for me ... ha ha.
Will I be able to stick to the new rule that say "not until the previous one's finished" ?
