StuG. III Ausf. G early production

February 28, 2021This is my first Takom tank kit. All of the tank kits I have build so far have been Tamiya. I have built other Takom kits, but never a tank. First, the plastic is much softer than a Tamiya kit. Also, Takom likes to make a bunch of very tiny parts. The fit is great, but I don't know how many parts I lost to the carpet during this build. Its a Blitz kit, so I guess this is Takom's way of making fun, easy, and fast to build kits. I would agree here, as it only took me a half a day to complete the build. The PE parts I did not enjoy, and the copper cable was very difficult to use, but I think its going to look great once its painted up. I would recommend a Takom tank to anyone.2
February 28, 2021Like I said, it builds up pretty quick. I do think Takom could work on their instructions some. I had more than a few times, where I was scratching my head trying to figure out where and how some parts actually went on.3
February 28, 2021I realized that the flash suppressor was on the wrong way. I did fix this before priming it.4

February 28, 2021I primed it using Mig One Shot black primer. I am going to try a new paint with this kit. I normally paint everything in Tamiya paints, but I bought a AK, Real Color, German tank set, so I am going to try AK paints for the first time.7
February 28, 2021I think it looks pretty cool.8
March 2, 2021I painted this with AK Real Color RC060 dark yellow. This is my first time using AK paints. I thinned it 50/50 with Mr. Hobby leveling thinner. I like these paints, as they are very similar to Tamiya, but they have a funky smell, so that alone might make me stick to Tamiya paints. I do like the surface and they sprayed great through my cheap airbrush.9

March 2, 2021This is my dog. She had enough of me working on models today, so I had to take a break and hang out with her.11
March 2, 2021I hand painted the tracks with Mig dark track color. I also painted the rubber wheels with Tamiya black rubber.12
March 2, 2021Tow cable, MG, and tools were all painted using Mig paints by hand. I picked up a Mig tank tool kit paint set so I always use these paints. I think the set came with 4 different wood colors, a rust color, and gun metal.13
