My first armor buld (panic!!!!!) - Airfix 1:76 Stug 3 G

Post by SyntaxModels »

G'day everyone, this is my first post in the armor section :eeek: .
A couple of weeks ago (I think), I posted a discussion asking what I should do for my first armor build, the Tamiya 1:35th Panzer II was highly recommended, I'm still waiting for the model store to have it delivered. But I was out at the model shop yesterday and had about $50 to spend, and I spotted this little bugger for $10! I ended up getting it for $8, I bought some other kits while I was there, one to make this into I diorama (48 German infantry figures) and a Tiger Moth, but I digress. Looking at the lower hull moulded into the plastic it said 'Airfix Products LTD 1962'. When I finished the kit I thought "Bloody hell, for a 50+ year old kit, this went together better than some of their new tooling aircraft!" because it did! Anyway, my little rant over lets take a look at some pictures, now with a better camera! (Before I was using my several year old Ipod Touch, now I'm using my several year old android phone, with a good camera!)

Proof that this is just a rebox of a 1962 kit:

And now onto some pictures of the finished thing! What I'm supposed to put here :shifty:

Those were arranged in no particular order.
As for products used in this build. I used Revell Contacta glue (couldn't find the Tamiya Extra Thin yesterday :( ), Tamiya Paints (XF-60 and X-10) and Vallejo Rust pigment (first time using pigments :eeek: ).
Thanks for looking guys, I will post some pictures of a dio with some German Infantry when I can be arsed painting them :lol: .

:cheers2:
