STUG 3 C/D - EASTERN FRONT(Frankenstein build)

[Brokeneagle]

I will give this one a try with a mix of old bits (un-built)to create a knocked out C/D version in the EAST for the Dr John's Stug build.
- I need to cull back the old models that have been scavenged for parts over the years.

The mix of parts will be from:
- Stug F (Dragon)
- MK 3 J (Dragon)
- Stug 3 g early (Tamiya)
- Mk 3 H (Dragon)
And so begins the creation of Frankenstein's monster..... :hmmm
I spent a while researching my options of what I could create with what I had. I decided to go with a C/D version.
I have not built this version before so it's a goer for my collection!

That date is meant to be readable - that didn't work did it...
DEC 30th 2013

Well, um, err, you're the one who set the 6 month limit. Everything else is one year.

Progress update

Holidays are wonderful - I can actually get some models built with all this time.

I have had my eye on a weird C/D model waiting for the right time, and this seems to be it.
April 1945 East Prussia (Speilberger stug 3) I also found the same tank in a photo from another angle in another ref (Tank Power Vol. 14)
Obviously something strange -C/D model with a Saukopf mantlet 75mm gun mounted.

I began the many 'mods' I needed to make this one a runner as a C/D model

Now to start the 'mini' mods as well

MP, Thanks mate, I always end up adding or modifying. Keeps it interesting after 45 years......but also slows me down.

Has it been that long since the early Planet Armor days?.....so it has.
It's been a pleasure though Mr Steinman - seen you do a lot of great models with that slick style and finish that is recognisably JS.

Thanks Mr T, Ron, Mike and Luiz.

I've been doing a lot of work on this so more progress very soon and thanks for watching :coolio

Ian.
