Italery stug IV resurrection

Excellent work . Cheers, Christian B)
 
Hi to all and thanks! I have being working on the stug and the trailer. The stug is finished, I also finished the paint work on the trailer and it only needs the tools, loading ramps and the tarp for the rear boogie and it’s done. The famo still need some details but it is almost there. the famo and trailer were started about a year earlier (2006) but it went on hold to finish the tiger with crane diorama, by that time I haven’t begun to photograph my work so that’s why there are no photos of its build.

Starting where I left last time, I used academy panzer IV link by link tracks, found it to be nicely detailed and only needed to clean two injector pin in each link, they look nice once painted and installed. I did the tracks in 4 sections because it is easier for me to paint it out of the vehicle.

I ended up painting the red and white stripes on the sides of both boogies as I didn’t liked the decals, because of the irregular surface, it was easier to paint it than struggle with the kit decals.

I took some pictures of the stug, the trailer and the stug on the trailer.
