This of course is just the top of the hull, which will convert your Panzer 4 into a Stug. You could use 21st century vehicles or can use the cheaper knock offs as you only need the bottom of the hull to modify it to a Stug. Kits will be for sale soon if anyone is interested just let me know and will get with you on what you want and the price.

With the materials and time invested into this project, I will be asking 100$ plus shipping for it from people on this board. I will also later sell it on Ebay but price will be 125$ on there.

I made this kit so assemble would be as easy as possible for people, so they would not have a lot of trouble putting it together, but also keeping nice detail to be able to convert your Panzer IV into a Stug.

I appreciate the interest, and do not think you will be disappointed with this kit, as it is a nice mod to make you a Stug for your collection.

If this project goes over decent, I will follow up with a Marder full SP Gun kit, and a Brummbar conversion kit, and a Dicker Max conversion kit and more to follow.

I can't recall all the models you've already done, but would you ever be up for a Wespe? I am currently finishing my 1/32 Tamiya kit and I believe that everybody here needs one for their 1/18 collection. I realize that might end up a full kit as I don't know that there is anything on the market that will work as a good base model.

But someone needs to make one.

Sure I could make one, or make it into a kit, I am currently involved of course in this stug project, and also making a Elephant for a board member, but I am pretty sure I could make one. Honestly I have wanted to build a Wespe for awhile now, just had never got around to it.

Yeah still have it, I put aside a long time ago and have not got back to it yet, as well as a Bren and a few others. Wife always tells me I go in 10 different directions at once. I will eventually get back to it and get it done as it is a project I for sure want to finish.

I wanted to let all know who is interested and have sent me PM's, that I don't want to take people's money before the item is ready to ship. So please allow me to get them all they way poured out and ready to go before sending any money, I hope you all will be okay with that, but I just feel better about having it ready to go soon as your money is sent so you do not have to wait on it.

I will ship them though in the same order I got PM's about it.

They will be totally done soon, so please be patient as a Stug will be coming to all who wants it soon, and your German armor will be a little bit more complete.

Thank Guys

To give you a idea as to what this looks like assembled.

[URL=http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/ ... .jpg[/img][/url]

Not all the parts but again to give you a idea on what it looks like, the rear area is sticking up higher as it has clay in the bottom of it for molding process.
