rvazquez Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 :D Hello friends! I started to build my Stug III Ausf B of Tamiya with add-ons of Voyager photoetched. Here are the first pics: The assembled of the kit is very easy and everything has fixed perfectly well until now. I have already added some pieces of the Voyager PE that are wonderful. The protections of the lights are well detailed with their hinges and clasps as well as in the front mudguards to which I made a little twisted to establish damages in combat The part of the fighting compartment already has been painted using acrylic of Vallejo. I added the gun metal of the kit and the clasps of projectiles as well as the small box of PE in the base of they. The basket was reinforced with putty of Humbrol to give the heavy aspect for stay the cartridges of the projectiles. The arm of the periscope was painted in black color like the seat. The rods cleaners are PE, metal and resin. The strap of the extinguisher and clasps are of PE. The use of the Voyager PE until the moment is of easy manipulation. Close-up of some PE details as mudguards, bars with screws, cleaning-rods, extinguisher, hooks and clasps of the back hatchways. Soon more pics!
