Tamiya 1/48 Sturmtiger

[Quax]

If I didn't no it was 1/48 I'd wouldn't have guessed, are you now converted to 1/48? They're somewhat cheaper (I think) and easier to display than 1/35.

Thanks Kev, I'm not sure I'm converted it was more that I've been doing all one colour subjects and wanted something to keep my eye in. What I have realised however is that there are a range of Tamiya 1/48 vehicles that would fit in well for a diorama with an aircraft which makes it more interesting

Looks awesome Quax
It was fun following this build along. I may get some 1/48th scale kits just because why not

Very impressive - I like the final outcome enough to consider 1/48 as well. Not a scale I usually look at.

thanks guys

Looks superb. Amazing job on that ambush scheme. Hand painted spots or did you airbrush them?
Either way, it looks superb. Great build.

Hand painted and I tried with mixed results to make it look like 3 different men had been given a brush by the Oberleutnant and told to get on with it

We can look forward to a few interesting 1/48 dioramas then

Looks great - I don't think that there's any 'right' way to paint ambush (although I'm sure there are 'experts' who will say otherwise) and I think you did an amazing job on it considering it's 48.

I was excited to find a Tamiya Sturmtiger at my local hobby store. But I found I am also missing the small poly caps. Mind sharing where you found yours or where I might locate some? Thx
