Fred's 2nd try; A Stug III***Finished***

Post by fredk »

The Renault FT defeated me. I may go back to it some time.
Early this morning I remembered, and looked out this Airfix Stug III.
I think I can give this a blast and 'blitz' it today.
As of now I have 16 hours. Can I do It?

I am determined to finish at least one GB!

Breakfast break time; [09:30]
It looks like this; wheels have tyres painted. I'll let the glue harden a bit on the main construction, then slap the paint on.

Just have to wait till that paint dries. The downside of using enamels.

And yet another one to hunt down. Hope the tracks are OK.

Great progress. I expect to see another Blitz in February.

I used decals from the spares. The kit ones had no white and the numbers were a bit smudged.
