I'm thinking the exact same thing, since I'm now plugging away on the standard IB. The good news is that there are now some nice 1:16 AM items available for the kit. Uncarina and Rick Griewski 1 1
LSP_Ron Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 You haven’t filled enough ejector pin marks yet Kev? LOL Uncarina, Rick Griewski and LSP_K2 1 2
eoyguy Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Well that's a new one on me. I thought all the Panzer I based Panzerjagers mounted 47mm guns. Being that this was likely a one-off used in Berlin in 1945, it seems like an odd choice to do this and not the far more common Ib with 4.7cm gun that was used on a number of fronts...

TankBuster Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Nice I might have to grab this version. Cheers. LSP_K2 1
LSP_Matt Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Where did they store the ammo on these? Matty LSP_K2 1
LSP_Mike Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 I wondered a bit, but there are a couple versions of StuG III guns.

Matty From what I can glean, it was more "this" than "these", as it seems only one existed. I would guess that there was no onboard storage. Probably a second vehicle or cart with ammo. All the pics of other models of it I have found show no means of on board storage, and the one photo doesn't show the rear. Probably used like a towed anti tank gun (eg the pak 40) with ammo brought up separately. Just a weird choice by Takom, perhaps because there is an extant 1/35 kit by Dragon that they could base theirs on??? LSP_Matt and LSP_K2 2
Rick Griewski Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 The gun on this Marder of sorts is from the Stug. At least two companies has released a Stug. Interesting to find out where this all comes from.

LOL These were a pain but the track link pins were breaking all the time. I flew a few into the carpet. Not enough pins in the kit for a beginner like me. After that struggle, I have found metal pins for 79 cents / 150 at Michael’s in the jewelry area. They need to be snipped; 1/8 inch too long. The heads look just right to my eye. A small dot of CA glue holds them in place. I will use them on the spare track links. https://www.michaels.com/bead-landing-head-pins-silver-.75in/10443043.html Edited June 30, 2022 by Rick Griewski Added link LSP_K2, LSP_Matt, Uncarina and 1 other 4
