Stug III Ausf G East-front 1945

Model by Rodolfo Torres Vazquez

          

Here is my last work:

The Kit: Stug III Ausf G of Gunze Sangyo 1/35.
The assambling of the parts is very good and the plastic is of great quality!. No problems there.

Painting with Tamiya acrylics:
* Day 1.- I applied a base coat of panzer grey
* Day 2.- I proceeded to paint with dark-yellow
a).- First camo with olive-green
b).- Second camo with dark-brown

* The tools were painted with metal gun of Humbrol
* Wooden box with brown of Humbrol
* Wheels with panzer grey of Tamiya
* Periscopes with blue of Humbrol

Weathering:
* Washes with brown oils (using 502 Abteilung #080 Wash Brown) very diluted with turpentine spirit two times.
* Dots with oils (white, red, blue, siena toasted, siena natural) applied with clean turpentine spirit
* I applied brown pigments in the crevices and some parts of rear and front
* More pigments in sides of the chassis and wheels
* Airbrush with flat earth of Tamiya in all the armor
* Black pigments in the gun barrel
 
Version:
This tank was abandoned in the Laba River (East-front) and was found almost intact because of lack of fuel (early 1945). This time I finished with a discreet weathering of humidity as it was in those days of March 1945.
