| This is a 1943 batch StuG III Ausf.G used by Finland in the war against the Soviet Union. It is an Airfix kit where I removed the concrete reinforcements on the upper hull. I made the typical Finnish box on the engine deck and the early gun mantle of plastic card. I had to make new roof hatches as the ones supplied in the kit didn't open the right way for the early Ausf.G. I also moved the spare wheels. The wheels and return rollers came from an Matchbox Panzer III and the tracks from Revell's StuG IV. |

| Another Airfix kit. This time I had to make some more conversions to get the version I wanted: The 1944 batch. First I remade the concrete on the upper hull, then I made the reinforcement armoured plates over the road wheels of plastic card. I also reshaped the "saukopf mantle" (as kan be seen on the "under construction pictures below)and added zimmerite. The logs on the sides was made of plastic tubes and Tamiya putty. |
