Next up 16 Stug 3s, Stug 4s and Stu 42s. All primed and base coated so far. I'm sure Ushcha would approve of them at this point, or maybe the paint isn't slopped on messy enough?

Ed, and interesting side-by-side comparison of dunkelgelbs. |

The Stugs are probably my favorite piece of German armor. |

Mine too 79th – Tonne fur Tonne, the best German AFV of the war me thinks. |

And I believe the highest single AFV produced by the German army. |

The highest was the 251 halftrack if you count it as an AFV. Painting up these Stugs is going to be put on hold for a while, got my last order from Arrowhead Miniatures yesterday or Saturday. 25 vehicles that need building. :) |

I don't personally count it as such but I could not say what the actual definition is :( |

Some good numbers on German AFV production

Great work Ed – and that's a lot of glued on wheels too! |
| Marc33594 | 15 Aug 2023 11:31 a.m. PST |
Arrowhead getting a bit too pricey? Always nice castings though. |
| machinehead | 15 Aug 2023 11:43 a.m. PST |
Thanks Dave. Marc, no they are going out of business and selling off the remaining stock at 20% off. |
| Marc33594 | 16 Aug 2023 8:15 a.m. PST |
Such a pity. They did do such excellent work. Thanks for passing that along Ed. |

Who ended up with the Arrowhead Line? |
| UshCha | 20 Feb 2024 10:36 a.m. PST |
machinehead – They look table ready to me  Wait no longer get them on the table.
I did read an account of a Stug reversing in a convoy to give rear cover, not yet done that one on the table yet. Such things take a bit of designing to get an interesting scenario for both sides.
Will they be part of the Panzers or remain as intended with the artillery? |
first saw these figures, he was dreading painting them...
