RE: Sturmi build
Buckeye,
Although the roadwheel bracket is well done and looks great, I would have loved to see the brackets for the logs on the hull sides!
I am looking forward to your execution of the driver's vision block shield and the uparmored hull between the return rollers.
Keep the pics coming!
Regards,
J

RE: Sturmi build
I'm doing mine with the initial modifications carried into their first engagements. The logs were among several modification done after the Soviet mass offensive on the Karelian isthmus. The specific one I'm doing is Ps. 531-19 (Marjatta), it was the first Finnish Stug to engage and destroy Soviet armor (4 T-34's on 6/15/44).

Will it be ready for Danville? Will it be IR? Will you let me play with it? Remember....it's nice to share.
It sill be nice to have another Stug there. Mine is getting lonely.
PS the Stug is very easy to hide on the battlefield due to the low profile. BIG PLUS....any KO'd enemy tank can provide your cover.

RE: Sturmi build
The plan was to make it IR and have it ready for Danville.
I don't think I'll have it ready in time and my ElMod is backorderd.......no electronics right now.
It will be a IR battle tank when completed, and yes you can play with it!
I also have a Stug D, came in the mail todayno electronics.
I'm considering Tamiya electronics or maybe the new SLU for that one....

RE: Sturmi build
Jim, looks like your Sturmi build is coming along nicely.I settled for a DBC/TBU battle system from Phil as there ain`t a lot of room in my Stug to install
anything much bigger,especially when you take into account that mounting anything on top of the battery box interferes with the gun elevation.I haven`t
changed my stock gearsets to 3:1 yet, as that will be determined once we try it out on the NEAD battlefield.Keep up the good work and have a good time at the Danville Extravaganza.
