Grimm Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm back! And this time with an actual build! This is my third armor build, and as you could probably figure out by the title, it's the Dragon StuG III Ausf. A kit. This is my first Dragon kit, the previous two armor kits were Tamiya's. Unfortunately, the only picture I currently have is the parts drying after my soapy water bath. Gotta get that grease off somehow, eh? I'll try and post more pictures of the construction tomorrow night. EDIT: I just noticed my dog in the door window in the background! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ok, so I haven't worked on the StuG too much, but this is what I have: The suspension has been a pain, I don't understand why it has to be semi-adjustable. Either let me adjust the whole thing, or don't let me adjust it at all. And true fully, I'm not a fan of Dragon/Cyberhobby's instruction sheets, it wasn't till I started the right side of the tank that I realized the modifications that appeared to be for only the left were for both, so either I'm marginally incompetent (probably true), or Dragon's instructions could be a bit more clear. Other than that, the kits pretty good, and it is very well detailed. only a few bits of questionable engineering! Anyways, I hope to keep working on this, and maybe I'll put this into a diorama of some sort since I have the Orange Box figure set. I guess we shall see...

Grimm Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Well, sorry folks (if anyone is paying attention to this build) but the StuG is going on the back burner. I am missing a couple parts from my sprues, and now I have to see if I can get replacements from DragonCare. Hopefully I will start another build shortly, probably Tamiya's Nashorn. Cheers, Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well, hopefully I will have a similar experience! How long did it take for yours to show up, I've heard it can take a while, even up to 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I want to say less than 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Just a little update, I have had no time to work on this little project, but I haven't forgotten about it! Hopefully I will have enough time to work on it in the coming months. I will try to be active on the forums though, but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
