                        Looks great. Only suggestion I can make is that I think the brighter red you used on the first version was more dramatic. It's a minor point, the badge looks good either way.

                        Looks awsome but I think needs the brighter red.

                        That's a fine badge design, M1. Looks good for the GB. I think I'll shelve my design for later GB's.

                        Ok, if this build ends up getting through, I don't think I'll be building a Stug, but something else. I didn't end up getting the kit that I thought I would. Maybe a flampanzer. Anyone know if any were involved?

                        I've looked through a couple of sources I've got on hand and I can't find any mention of flammpanzer's being used in Normandy. It looks like a few were deployed to Russian and Italy, but nothing that I can see in France. Maybe someone else around here has some more information.

                        From what I can tell there weren't any Flamepanzers in Normandy. By this Time in the war they were using the PZ III as the Flame tank (I think) and if this is the case only 2 units according to the ref. Materials I have had Panzer III's of any kind and that was the 11th Panzer and the 116th Panzer. Only the 116th Panzer saw action in the Normandy area. The 11th was way south. Again if anyone has better info or knows what I have entered is incorrect please tell me.

                        Ok, no flampanzers.
                        Now I'm not quite sure what to build. June 6th is still a way off, so I'll find something till then, either in the kits I have, or I'll just get something for this build.
                        I'm kind of tired of the standard tank stuff. In the mood for something a little different.
