Dragunov's StuG III Ausf. C/D with 7.5cm L48

Hi All!!!

After a long time away from T&T and modelling, I finaly got the time to do some modelling. I started with the Cyberhobby / Orange series StuG III Ausf. C/D with the 7.5cm L48 gun.

I planned to build it OOB but I used a 7.5cm gun from the spare box because the one in the kit had a 2 piece barrel wich looked to big for my taste. It looked more like a long 105mm barrel :)

Just wanted to show you what I did this weekend......... :blush: at modelling that is!!

Comments welcome!!

Good start. Is the tarp glued tissue? And I dont think I've ever seen a c/d with a 75mm gun. Does it ever look wierd (in a good way). Look forward to seeing more of this one.

Hi James,

Yes the tarp is tissue soaked in water soluble wood glue, it holds the shape nicely when dried but doesn't stick to the plastic.

Cheers Erik
 
You just gotta love that low silhouette! Those Sturms must've been hard to see when camouflaged... probably most effective in a defensive role, eh? What was it's standard crew?

Your model is coming along great - nice touch with the tarp. Will be watching this one closely.

Hi Fernao,

Thanks for the comment, I like the low silhoutte of this vehicles to! Because of the lack of a turret they were best suited for a defensive role, ambush etc, but very effective tank hunters. The standard crew was four man; commander, gunner, loader and the driver.

Cheers Erik
