Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.167 StuG.IV Late Production

[Dusky]

Finals are pretty much killing all my motivation, so when finals are over this week I'll work on this new toy and put everything else on hold.

You can find a very nice inbox review of it here.

I managed to get all the wheels together and start on the hull. The idler wheels were a bit of a pain to assemble because the PE ring that makes up the inside is smaller than the actual idler part and one of the idler parts has a raised rim along the inside that needs to be removed so the PE ring will fit. I sanded down the idler wheels after attaching the rings and brushed on Tamiya white surface primer to make sure there aren't any gaps. I've encountered one error in the instructions so far: on step 2 it shows to use B2 and B3, but you should use S2 and S3.

The instructions are awful. ??? I already messed up and have to order replacement parts. This is on hold till someone else builds it and I can learn from their mistakes.

this is noting new dragon instructiosn are bad in a few of my builds but the last 2 have been fine

Sadly not, but the StuG IV instructions seem worse than usual.

I'll be picking my one up this week but won't be starting g it for a while,

What part did you need to re order?

 

[Dusky]

It would be several parts, but I'm going to try and rip them apart and salvage it.

 

[spud]

well good luck with it, i hope it is salvagable
