Update, am waiting on more molding material to arrive, as did not have enough to mold all the parts, as there are more parts then what I had pictured with the smaller accessories such as spare tracks wheels and so on.. It will be next week before I am ready to start shipping them out. Sorry for delay but I will have them ready asap.

Thanks

Update, lots of pouring going on, once I have around 10 all the way poured out will send out the messages to arrange payments for all who wanted a stug to get one.

Thanks

Does anyone remember the brand name of those Chinese knock-off Panzer IVs or can anyone provide a link to where they are being sold?

Tman, this is the link from an old post, 2012.....

http://www.eworldtoy.com/1recoelmitaw1.html

I did order and receive 3 of these Panzer IV's.
Two things to keep in mind.....You'll need to cut and remove the side fenders also the tank tracks/treads are not the same as the ones that came on the 21st model, they have a smooth edge/side.

Other than that and the paint scheme its a 1:18 Panzer IV.

Update, it is taking me a little longer then I expected to get all these poured out but the work continues. I am also of course cleaning up the parts, and fixing any small flaws I find in the molded parts, which of course takes a bit of time. I do believe though that they will be ready by this weekend.

I will post on here soon as I have a group of 10 done, and ready to ship, and then contact each of you who sent me a PM to discuss payment and shipping.

Thanks

Update, as you can see by photos the stug parts are coming along good. I do clean them all up and make sure of proper fit as I do not want anyone who buys one to have any issues if I can help it. Please be patient with me and soon they will be ready to go.

Thanks

Update all, just got back from hospital where I had to have 3 more surgeries on my ankle. It has slowed me down a bit but I am back home now and will get back to work on them so they are ready for you all asap. All that is left to do is clean up and fitting and then they will be ready to be shipped so should only be few more days.

Is a picture of my ankle on my photo bucket, but it is not pretty so would not recommend looking unless you have a strong stomach, doctor's seem to do me more harm then good.

Sorry for the delay all, they will be ready soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Sad thing about that picture Maritime is that is what it looked like after the 1st surgery, and is why I then had to have 2 more surgeries to fix what they had done.

Thank You all for the kind thoughts, I appreciate it but I am also very stubborn and am diligently working on these Stug parts so I can get them shipped out to all who want one. It actually helps to take my mind off of my ankle when I am working on them so is good therapy.

They will be ready soon, I would say I can guarantee they will be ready to ship by Monday.


Also wanted to let people know that I am looking for a 1/18th spitfire any of the builds is fine by me and can even be not in perfect condition, so if someone happens to have 1 and wants to do a bit of swapping for a Stug kit send me a pm and we can talk about it.

Thanks

Gonna start shipping kits this week all, will give my address and phone number to all who order, that way if there is a problem they can call me and I can help get it resolved.

I want everyone who gets a kit to be happy with it, and to be satisfied.

Thanks all
