May 31, 20197 yr #1 I'm afraid there will be not much time for modeling during the summer time but I would like to start the next project today. It's the DRAGON 1/35 Sturmgeschuetz (assault gun) with winter tracks. I will add some new 1/35 scale MiniArt Panzer Riders. This new figure kit (No. 35075) was released recently. Boxart and sprues:
May 31, 20197 yr Author #4 The figures: Five Panzer Riders with a lot of equipment. I ordered two sets to modifie some of the figures.
May 31, 20197 yr Author #6 Still try to find out, if the German tanks that fought in Kharkov in early 1943 had still the dark grey or already the new dark yellow painting (under their winter camo of course).
June 1, 20197 yr #7 Lars, you tease! Getting us all interested in your new StuG project now but not finishing it until after summer. LOL Seriously, looks like a neat idea and I will be following to see the future final result. As for the underlying paint color, I'd think most likely dunkelgelb, although in real life I suppose there could have been some vehicles that were at the tail end of the gray finish. I'm no expert though! Terry

June 5, 20197 yr Author #9 Chassis with wheels. What you see are 93! parts. These "Smart kits" are killing me.
June 8, 20197 yr Author #12 Thanks Dennis! Here's why I purchased exact this kit. It has the extendet winter tracks.
June 10, 20197 yr Author #15 Just started with the upper hull. I was surprised to see that the kit contains main interior parts.
June 10, 20197 yr Author #16 At the moments it looks like I failed bending the photo etched protective grid (term?) of the periscope the correct way. The plastic grid looks a little bit clumsy so maybe I'll give it a second try tomorrow.
June 11, 20197 yr #17 Lars, I agree that the PE protective cage will look far superior to the plastic version. No doubt bending the PE properly is a pain in the butt but the aesthetic results will be worth your efforts. Of course, that's easy for me to say! Good luck on all that bending! Terry

Terry Thanks Terry, I gave it another shot. Far away from "perfect" but looks really better than the plastic part.
June 16, 20197 yr Author #22 The first coat of Panzergrau for the StuG and light grey primer for the figures.
June 18, 20197 yr Author #25 Thanks Mike! After painting the wheels and the tracks and applying the decals the StuG received two layers of hairspray.
