so far just some paint

Sweet!

You will love it. I have built four "Tam-Long" Stug IIIs so far. The last one for Gene in LI NY last Fall. It is a great IR battle tank too.

Here it is fighting with Brett's Pzr III at Danville.

going for this

That looks like a Fin stug, not a German one.

I like the camo, you did a nice job. Stug's are fun.

Thanks guys i have had it sitting on my dresser for about 5 months just in grey waiting to be painted although i haven't even finished any on my other projects i wanted to start painting this one so i put some colour on it

looks great

Like the way the gray looks Dark Yellow from a distance, before I enlarged the photos. Nice work. The color plate is defiantly a Sturmi form Finland.

Here is some pix of Fin Stugs for you.

here are some more pics i still have to get a better camera my old one was better than this one

Looks awesome!

Could you do me a favor? Could you measure the outer diameter of the gun tube at the base of the muzzle brake? I need to see if I could get that brake onto a PzIV F2 to convert it to a G. TIA

Philipat,
I was able to us the muzzle brake from the HL panther. I had to open the inside diameter bit, but screwed it on with no problem.

Jim

You mean you used the Panther brake to make a PzIV G? Didn't know that they were the same muzzle brakes.

what brake is it like this that you are going to use

Sorry...not trying to hijack your thread. You've got a good-looking StuG going.

This is the variant I'm looking at.

do you still need a measurement

Yes, please. If I can find someone that has the PzIV F2, I'll see if I can get the measurement for the gun tube OD at the base of the brake. Since the StuG III and the PzIV G used the same L/43 gun, I know that the StuG brake will be the correct one.

the HL muzzle brakes i think are interchangable i just tried swapping the jagdpanther and stug it threaded right on i think the inside measurement is 9/16ths

Cool...thanks. Got your PM, too.

Have you considered this.... You can get it from IMEX Erik for $19. It is a direct replacement on the HL PZ IV and has the muzzle break you want. Edit: Forgot to say FreakyDude has these as well at Imortal Hobbies in Canada!!!

I have. But, if you closely at the end, it looks more like the late G/early H rather than the early G. (see attached photos) I should ask Erk, though...that would make the upgrade much simpler since I think it does support airsoft, too. I just found the attached pictures over the weekend. Would be nice if Erik had photos from multiple angles.

Wow...looks great!..makes me want a stug!

@philipat, I have one of the IMEX replacement barrels so I will find it and take some photos of the muzzle break for you.

Awesome! Thanks.

@philipat

Here are the photo's I promised. I had not looked at this thing in a while. The barrel portion is drilled all the wat through as is the muzzel break. The barrel appears to be an L43, but I am not sure as I am not sure how much protrudes out past the armored par of the turret/mantlet of the StuG or the Panzer IV. I only compared it to the StuG and it seems shorter? The Muzzel break looks like a late Panzer IV G or early H. I think it could be modified back to the more rounded G version with some miliput though. For $19 it is not a bad upgrade at all.
