Thank you very much Mike! :drinks

You can clearly see the weld on the shot deflector.(what I called add-on armor piece)

Read the text from pictures 6 and 7....
Interesting page BTW but you can clearly see from Mike's picture that it HAD weld bead added!
What a relieve,I don't have to remove it!

Greetings,Ron.....And HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!
 
Check out picture 10, seen the stug modeled with the top off several times, just figured it was to show inside, I didn't know it actually was a convertible!

Fooling around with some Aber P.E;

Couldn't find pictures from Stug Brigade 280 with the remote controled turret MG on their Stugs,so I had to scratch build the plate on the opening of it.

I did find back the Photo Etch zimmerit waffle stamp from Royal Model.After testing it I came to the conclusion that I didn't like it.
So had to find something alternative.From a left over 88mm ammo box from the Verlinden PAK 43 I made a waffle pattern zimmerit stamp;

Just test...test,testing,it on the not to be seen underside of the vehicle.Will have a proper try in daylight on the parts that will be visible.

More to come later.

Yep,Terry is absolutly right about that. :good:

Could not find photo's from Stug Brigade 280 during the Arnhem battle without zimmerit however.

Don't worry MP,if you ever wanna do a zimmerited Stug,you can always use aftermarket sheets of zim,ATAK has some nice thin resin sheets of zim for it.

My method of doing zim is just time consuming old school style. ;)
