Hey PJ & Gamera, thanks. G, I really like those Alpine Figures, they are well made and have excellent relief. I'd like to see them make more for the Vietnam era. They will definitely give Bravo6 a run for their money.

Having built a few of this kit myself over the years, I can say that those upgrades are a big step up from what’s in the box. Looks like you added a tow cable too. Very well done sir! How well did the Riich tracks fit the sprockets and road wheels? Did you need to make changes there?

 

Thanks Stik, I had to do those upgrades since the kit lacked definition where it needed it. The tow cable was a kit bash, I cut off the cable loops from the kit then tightly wound actual copper wire and attached it to the loops. The Riich tracks were a bit to put on and I discovered that the original kit sprocket was wider than normal since it was a motorized kit. Luckily I had a couple of 'Dragon' Pz III sprockets and was able to get them on along with the idler wheel which had no torsion bar.

Nice work on the StuG but I love the figures! 

And the photos against the background look really good!

Wow that looks awesome. Fantastic job done on an old kit.
