Awesome

thanks for posting this.

That looks cool. Lately I have been thinking about mixing 1:16 armor with the rest of my 1:18 collection, but I'm limitied on which ones I can get. The 1:16 King Tiger is at the top of my list so far, but still waiting on the one from 21st Century toys.

Somebody's got one up for auction right now at a very low bid, if things don't get too crazy you might pick it up cheap. Might be worth a look....

I never did liked the winterketten. it just look so...evil. Like rows of shark teeth.
Ostketten, have you done any work on your Stug yet? I have limited knowledge German assault guns, so researching for things to mod on this baby is slow-going.

Yeah, and they're not cheap either... roughly $120 for a complete set (tracks, sprockets & idlers) plus shipping. Alas, as nice as these look it will probably be a while before I get a set.

Unfortunately no. I've only just had time to run it around on the carpet in my basement a little bit, but I hope to find time on Sunday to post some pics of it with some XD troops and scenery.

Sent you a PM.... I may have something you'd be interested in regarding your research.

Thanks dude.

I've started working on mine. I don't think I'll go the super-detail route this time. I'll just remove the things that are not supposed to be there, like the head light.
I've thought about doing this Stug:
