Dragon 1/35 StuG IV (early)
Posted: 11 Oct 2012 14:17Well, I guess I will be the first one to start. Will be building StuG IV w/zimmerit (Dragon #6576). I only wonder how badly Dragon messed up their instructions this time

Posted: 18 Oct 2012 17:25Slowly started with the built. Not much free time to really dive into it right now, but... one step at a time.
Started on the drive train and all the wheels. I usually glue them together while they still on the sprue - much easier to align them and make sure that they are not crooked.

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 23:45The build continues. So far everything is pretty much OOB. Can't really put too much effort in weld beads - have to take zimmerit into consideration. The good reference is a must. like always, dragon offers several versions of details, but doesn't explain which one to use for which occasion.
The next step - chains, suspensions and the engine deck.
