Not a bad choice for #3. Sure, it’s an older kit, but it goes together quickly and easily and looks good when it’s done. No real complications. The only area where you need to pay attention is the mounting of the schurzen brackets to make sure they’re straight. Otherwise, it’s a nice fun build.
You can’t go wrong with a 'Stug
Tanks are what people remember WWII to be about, a few always are recognizable to even people who are not military enthusiasts. Few could recognize a 'Stug or know they were produced in far greater numbers than famous tanks such as the Tiger I.
The 'Stug series of turret-less assault vehicles were called upon countless time and delivered victories fighting precarious defensive positions.
The vehicle you are building is one of the best examples of German adaptive engineering to suit necessity using a existing production chassis.
Thanks for the info guys,
Now that I’ve decided on the Tamiya Sturmgeschuke IV, and I’ve been researching the tank for a few days and I think I will change the side armor plating as it looks a little to thick to me and I’ve seen photos with some missing and some panels distorted due to combat, wear n’ tear and some pics of patched up plates. I’ve got an assortment of brass sheets so i should be able to get the right scale. Also looking to an aftermarket barrel as the kit one is a 2 piece.
I would like to know what are the most popular armor sites you guys visit and is there any aftermarket tools like spades and axes as the kit ones also look a little out of scale.

Hi Leo
As far as suggestions go, do you have an in-house selection you are choosing from, or are you looking to purchase / build based on the suggestion?
Do you prefer allied or axis?
There are so many great kits to choose from really. My last armor build was a Dragon Pz-IV C. An excellent kit! I had very few “bumps” while building.
