Hello friends:

Thanks for your kind comments!, I really appreciate them. A few Stug's IV they added accesories but the most Stug's III they carried plentiful of accesories. I have a project for to make a Diorama with this Stug and a Tiger I.
About the ammo belts, are of Verlinden.

Thanks again!
Rodolfo

nice tank, only one comment: i would add more accesories. most stug were shown with field-built racks locared on the back. they did this because it was an idel tank for throwing some extra ruck sacks exc............ never the less, excellent tank! Wink [;)]

Hello friends:

Thanks for your kind comments!. Regarding your observation on the hanging teeth of the rack, you are right. I also noticed the same after taking and publishing the photos in another Forums, but I already made the change on it. I will publish the correct photos again.

Thanks and regards,
Rodolfo

Nice bit of work Rodolfo. Excellent weathering.
I do have one question though in regards to the schurtzen racks (and please remember I'm just an ignorant Sherman builder)
Shouldn't the hanging teeth be towards the outside of the rack as opposed to the inside?

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Simply Beautiful! Great work, I really love how you made all the "camo" dots a uniform size as if they were all hand painted in the field. Great work, you should be proud!
