Tamiya StuG. IV 1/35 - FINISHED!

Hey guys,

Had some work done on the wheels and schurzen this evening. Did some streaking on the schurzen, because i'm thinking about leaving one of the schurzen in the primer color, like it has been replaced in the field or something.

I’m certain this one will look great.

Thanks, didn't realise Valejo did that.

Looks good, what brand did you use for the primer.

I agree with Roy on the chipping, not a big fan of lots of it, people seem to think brushing a tree will remove lots of paint.

Chipping medium tells me you intend to show lots of the red oxide showing through.  I would advise to only do a spartan amount -- it's easily overdone, in my opinion.   Also consider the location of the chipping would mostly be where the crew climbs on or grabs areas of the StuGIV.  Usually, that's up the glacis in front of the driver.  The crew hatches.  The two rectangular brake hatches (they needed daily adjustment), the engine hatches (for fuel top off and general maintenance), the leading edges of the fenders and bottoms of the shurzen.  Don't overdo the shurzen -- they are flimsily hooked on -- a huge scratch would have simply knocked the thing off.  

Don't chip areas that wouldn't get battered -- I see people put a chipped edge on the inside of some panel that never gets touched.  That simply doesn't make sense to me.  Best of luck to you!
