Stug, Sturmtiger, Sturmpanzer group build

Modeling Subjects Armor
21

We are thinking about widening the topics to a Stug/Hetzer or Stug/Jagdpanzer L70… If we open it to all self propelled guns, that would include Hummels, Nashorns, Marders, Wespe, Bison, etc. The build would be way to broad.

watch for more updates. and please email me if you are in.

Sounds more like an Assault Gun build. Would that make a Sturm Tiger eligable?

23

I agree. Good idea. I love Jagdpanzer IV’s.

The date for the build is tentatively set for August 16. If this conflicts, let me know. IF we were to build any assult gun, the following would be a choice:Hummel,Nashorn/Hornisse,Jagdpanzer IV, Wespe, Marder, Bison, and Stug. I think Jagdtigers, Jagdpanthers, and Sturmtigers would qualify as a heavy tank destroyer or assault mortar.
I think that we should make this just a Stug III and StugIV build (we can do an assault gun build after the stug one is over[?] maybe?)

keep posting if you have questions or e-mail tankbuild121

I liked the initial Stug build idea. Limits it to a particular vehicle. Someday I would like to see a tank destroyer build. My Hellcat keeps calling my name.

26

Go the Stug’s. The date sounds ideal.

Just to add my two cents, I like the stug only build. I’m in the small AFV build and I think one other person is doing a quad, it doesn’t feel like a group build. It seem more fun if I could share my build experience with someone who is also building the same thing. Aug works for me.

28

Joe you said my sentiments exactly. In the Panther build we were like a small family so to speak. We were all working on Panthers even though there were variants. Alot of the info that applied say to an A type also applied to the G as well. Same would more or less happen in a Stug only build. Yah, that’s what this needs to be all about. [8D]

29

I couldn’t agree more, everyone doing the same vehicle would be great.

Cheers Andy!

Must resist, MUST RESIST!!![:p][}:)]

32

You know you can’t. [;)] [:p]

33

I would love to join but we have a contest coming up here in Denmark in Nowember and Im deeply involved in the planing, I also have my Leopold that I need to finish, so I guess I’ll have to wait for that assault gun thing. [V]

34

Tankbuild121 and I talked and we decided that the eligible subjects would be the StugIII(Ausf A-G), Sturmhaubitz 42(the new dragon kit), the sturmpanzers(III and IV), the Sturmtiger, and the Stug IV(early-late)[:)] we have started a list of people who want to participate, so if you want to be in, e-mail tankbuild121.
keep posting if you have questions

35

Excellent, I can’t wait [:)]

36

Sounds good and the timing is perfect.

Hey Folks,

Are there any limits regarding scale in this group build? I’m working on building Bandai’s 1/15 scale Stug IV right now. I’m currently stalled awaiting parts but I’d love to join your group build.

I think an assault gun GB would have far more contributions , its fun to see all forms of a particular weapon from all countries the russians had some mean assault guns as did the allies toward the end , the stug was pretty kool for sure ( and there is a nice new kit from dragon out now BTW) but why limit it to just the stug ?, just my 2 cents here .

Well, we would like to keep it small. That is the point, we dont want to have this huge topic were ther is one of each, we would like to see what people can do with a Stug. And we can talk about them since every one builds a stug. Thanks for the putback

Thanks all[:)]
