Welcome to the GB! Sounds like an interesting vehicle.

I'd like to build an E-100 StuG sometime, too. It's the E-100 chassis with a StuG-type hull and the same gun, just making it lower and meaner looking. Only problem is that the only conversion kit is $175...

I don't know if this company is still in business, but their stuff is pretty cool.  It always does well in competition.  I won my first "1st" with one of their T-34s in an OOB division many years ago.

I haven't touched mine a long while I have to get back to it. I will sooner than later. I have to finish my Tomcats first. Since one of them is going on the San Diego reunion. Cheers.

I should probably start my Vac-U-Cast kit here soon.  I've been cracking away at IPMS review kits too much lately.

I totally love that Sturer Emil kit.

Herme, what is the drop date finish date on this GB? I had forgoten. Things have been very crazy lately. I am still hard at work on the Tomcat and have limited time left at this point. I will be adding another tank to the mix. I have the Vorpanzer conversion kit designed for the Tamiya Tiger I, and I have the Dragon Tiger I Initial. From those two kits I will be doing the Vorpanzer conversion that is in the MMIR Tiger book. I can't wait to get this one done. The LHS that I orderd the kit from well over a year ago told me they sold it. When I was in there the other day I found the conversion kit in the lockup case, and promptly bought it. I can't wait to get my hands into that one. I'll post some images for it sooner rather than later as I already have it started. I have removed the outer sections on the outer front drive sprockets like shown in the book. Other than that the rear bulkhead is in place as well as the sidewalls. Other than that it is in a rather unfinished state. Since this is a one of a kind I will also be getting a set of MK traks, as I am not willing to spend the money on the FM tracks, as they are simlpy too much for me to spend my money on. Not to mention the fact that they frighten the H-E-(-) of me.

I have the references to do it, but i dont think i have the skill required, but a scratchbuild of a 1/35 AC4 Sentinel (or thunderbolt, depending on what reference your reading)

Any M3 fans out there who could give me a hull that would be suitable to modify and build from would be a good start, i dont know that much about the M3 at all

AC4 with 17 pound anti tank gun

AC3 with 25 pound gun

AC1 with 2 pounder gun

I'll be starting my kit after I finish my Das Reich Tiger I for the Kursk GB.  The plan is to work on my JagdTiger for the Panzer Aces GB while I work on the VK4501 Tiger (P).  So, basically that means I'll be starting up in a couple of weeks.  Smile [:)]

Still here..... I think must of us were tied up with the Kursk GB, and now the War in the Desert and Winter Warriors GBs. 

My hobby time has been severely limited the past month, but I'm hoping to change that this weekend.  Big Smile [:D]

Back in the day when I wasn't taking much notice of armor related issues, this GB slipped past me.  No so now and too bad too since I am building the Tiger (P) for the Big Cats GB.  I could've done that here and my Tiger I for the otherSad [:(]
