StuH 42 - Ostfront

This is another DML StuH 42 with moulded on zimm. This one features an Armorscale metal barrel and resin mantlet, home made concrete armour (Squadron Green Putty), soft brass tow cable with resin ends, a home made stowage cage and stowage, and Eduard schurzen. The kit doesn't include the schurzen mounting rails but luckily the older DML StuH 42 includes two sets so I was able to utilise those.

Late-war Stug III Ausf G

This is my rendition of a late-late war Stug III with "swinging schurzen" - side skirts that are mounted on tubular pipes welded to the fenders to allow the skirts to swing if they hit an obstacle. The model is based on a famous piece of late war colour film of a number of Stugs and StuH's manouvering in a field. I went to great pains to accurately replicate both the vehicle and the paint scheme. The base model is the DML StuH 42, with Voyager side skirts in photo-etch:
