This is the Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger from Dragons Armor Pro 1/72 scale series, alhtough I didn't build it as one from this unit. Fairly straightforward to build except for the running gear, it gave me some headaches.

Painting was done using Tamiya / Vallejo acrylics, oils for the washes/weathering and different brands of pigments.

My second stug, this time DML's Stug III ausf. C/D complimented with their stug figure set. The kit was nice to build, no problems at all. Groundword and the building were made from styrodur and the tower was made from evergreen.

I guess this one is an old Italeri kit, it has the 70's written all over it and i've seen the included (terrible) figure before.

Despite lacking detail, accuracy and the horrendous exhaust cover (I left it off) the kit is easy to build and although there is a far better alternative on the market (DML) this one is cheap and therefore ideal for some experimentation.

Although the Stug is one of my favourite German vehicles, I’ve never built one.
I knew I had one somewhere lying around and after a quick search through my apartment, I dug up the Tamiya Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G, Frühe Version. In order to spice this kit a bit up I bought the ATAK 35A05 conversion set and a Lion Roar photoetch set.

Hasegawa's 1/72 M5 High Speed Tractor and M2 155mm Howitzer 'Long Tom'
are simple kits to build and a bit (understatement) rough on the details.
None the less, I've had a lot of fun building and painting these two little kits
