I just finished building one of each of these little gems and they are really rather amazing little kits; here is my review of the set link I simply cannot see myself going back to metal after building the PSC kits, the detail is far better with plastic and the price is far lower. |

I agree. they are nice kits. I did want to mention that you have the wrong hatches for the wrong versions. The version with the remote MG should have hatches that opened out to the sides, while the one with the MG shield should have hatches that opened front to back (indeed the front hatch had a hook on it that engaged the gun shield, and acted as a support for it). Also I believe the side opening hatches were designed so that when open they stayed vertical, to give the gunner protection when reloading the MG. Damon. |

Thanks, I was set right by my gaming buddies AFTER I had built the models and posted that bit. The instructions are truly sad when it comes to that point. I still like the kits and I am building a Stug III company for FoW @ 1944. |

I like your review ("I ran out of superlatives"…) Unfortunately, I'm fully loaded with BF's STUGs, nice models by the way. But yes, PSC are rapidly becoming my models of choice (sdkfz 251, T-34 and soon panthers and shermans). I'm impatiently waiting for the US halftracks. |

The Stug F is an late model F/8. Great how to article. If I get going hope to have picture of a early Stug F. Did this by using the rear decking off the Panzer III. Also just got the new Panthers in the mail. On word WOW.. The panther is the best so part… |

I love your blog. The process shots in all your posts are very helpful. I know how much time and devotion it takes to stop working, take the photos, jot down notes, write them up, ect. Thanks again! |

If I ever decide to drop down to 15mm, I think PSC is going to be my primary choice of manufacturers. |

79thPA PSC are making (or planning on making) these models in 1/72 as well, the beauties of CAD design and CNC driven machinery, once you have the design you can build it in any scale! |
