Dragon Stug III B

[fledermaus]

HI!

here is another one I did many years ago, the model received some details to make it look beter.

here the suspension parts ready to install

using scraps of photoeched I did the headlights cable clamps, super tiny!

the barrel cleaning rod recived some details with pieces of styrene and Bronco wing nuts

some more small details

wanted to add the missing details to the hatch, again I used scraps of photo eched for the details

the completed hatch

now I made some details for the spare road wheels and a mount for it using styrene bits.

a couple of Verlinden resin nuts finishes it.

the lifting hook and other areas received some weld lines using styrene rod softened with liquid glue.

Man that looks fun. I think the photo of the Griffon hinge tool is what prompted me to get one.

Thanks for the memories

What a great build. I recently built one of these older Dragon Stugs and was pleasantly surprised by how nice this older kit is. The tools need work but the tank itself is a nice base.

Ian, you are right, it is a nice old model

Here is the finished model

After painting it in panzer grey, I did a pin wash all over it

next some mud made using dirt and white glue

After an old school drybrushing and some weathering powders it is finished

Like Ian said, this is a nice old kit that I enjoyed making.

thanks!
