Review Summary

The reviews highlight a strong appreciation for the kit's ease of assembly, high-quality details, and minimal flash on parts, making it suitable for modelers of varying skill levels. Many note the customizable options, such as side armor and paint schemes, as well as the charming addition of figures with a puppy, which add a human element to the build. A minor issue mentioned is difficulty with the gun barrel staying in position, though overall satisfaction with the product remains high.

The puppy on the tank

By: littleyellowjacket

This tank kit was a pleasure to assemble. All the pieces fit well and looked real. I really liked the plastic tank track, much easier to use then all the little track pieces that have to be glued together( I have tried to assemble the links and they are not a lot of fun). I was especially happy with the figures and that one had a puppy in his arms and the other was feeding him. They look so life like. It makes you think that in between all the fighting there was time to relax and enjoy some down time. I am making a diorama of a tank repair unit with a maintenance area and a tent with a radio operator and this will go perfectly in the repair yard. The only bad thing and maybe I made a mistake in assembly but I can not make the gun barrel stay up it keeps drooping down, but then maybe this is a good thing for the repair area.

Easy kit, good detail, you'll like it.

By: kandj172

This model comes with side armor that you can put on or leave off. It also has a human side with a crew of two with the gunner having a pet dog. You can build two different eras and paint schemes, and add or leave off details as you wish. In short, this is YOUR OWN model to do with as you want, you don't have to follow exact paint schemes as there were so many StuG's made, nobody can possibly know if you are right or not. When people think of German armor, they think tanks, but the the assault gun was more common than the tanks and this model fits right in with mid-war production.

solid little stug

By: Justen Oldtool (Oxford Mich)

Love my Stug. Had a beautiful detailed T-xf 60(dark yellow) finish which I just winterized. Build/finish/tweak/detail/change seasons/does it ever really end?
