Excellent work! Love the conversion and have you inspried me to try and take on this type of project in the future.

dupes, the Mori Mori putty is just like Tamiya's Polyester Putty and or like Bondo.

Rick - sweet build! Glad I found time to poach some real internet to take a look at the pics. Looking forward to the finished result.

I've never heard of "mori mori" putty - who makes it? Does it have any special properties?

Welcome Rick. Bravo on your 1/48 StuG IV. Don't see enough of them. I wasn't aware that Model Kasten made a zim set. Is it for use only 1/48? Look forward to more of your work.

wow, great build! And an excellent way to say hello! I've really enjoyed the last few 1/48th kits i've put together, and was eyeing the Pnz IV (minus the AM stuff of course).

Thanks for sharing

Very nice, RIck!

That's some nice zimmerit! Looks really beat up! The Russian marlings are neat, too.

A nice model all around, for sure!

Thanks for taking the time to post a little WIP here--we need more of these, and it's nice to see your work!

A great little picture article on your nice build there Mr. Lawler!

I was getting a little worried for you though, first the Saw blade was stuck, but you got that out OK. then wondering how you were going to un-glue your paint brush from the side of the Tank just kidding.

Wow. Great job on the conversion. It having the Russian markings on it make it even cooler and unique. Good job.

Hello FSM people,

My name Rick Lawler, and I am new to this forum. I've spent the past few days reading and enjoying a number of the postings - good stuff guys.

This build is something new for me...my first with 1/48 scale. Beginning with the Tamiya Pz. IV and also using the Hauler StuG IV conversion I will begin with this.....

I hope to end-up with this....The inspiration for the build can be found here:(Examples for Discussion Only: Armchair General) http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaw...ed_SPG_img.htm
