looking for a Stug III G

**hardlec** · #1 02-17-2011, 02:28 PM

I am looking for a model of a Stug III G, long barrel 75mm gun. I would prefer freeware, but I will pay for a good example.
I want to make several copies for a game.
1:100 scale. I can usually convert 1:72 or 1:35, but much smaller scale numbers are often too hard to convert.
Thanks

PTA has three versions of the Stug III C/D in 1/72 scale.
They have short barrels.
Could you scratch build a long barrel ?

The barrel would be possible, but can be hard to color properly. The flash supressor is another story.

Maybe this one:

Use acrylic paint to color the scratch built barrel and use the flash suppressor from another model.
For example, the PTA panther:

Paper Tiger Models are great. I lack the skills to draw/create, but maybe I could get a PzKw IV barrel.
The papercraft model looks great as well. I am concerned that a 1:35 kit may not scale down well.

You are correct in thinking that a 1/35 kit will not scale down to 1/100 well.
Many of the parts will become so small that you can hardly see them.

1/72 should scale down to 1/100 with few problems.

While I am thinking about it, the so called flash suppressor is really a muzzle brake to reduce recoil.

Whatever you call the knob on the end of the barrel, I don't think I can make one.
Ideally I'd use the barrel of a PzKw IV G. Of which I don't have any either.

You can get a free, 1/72 scale, white model of a Pz.Kpfw.IV ausf.G at Y's Papermodels.
