Dragon 1/72 StuG IV Early

The antithesis of the RSO. Dragom have engineered a lovely model to build. Again, the model is in progress. I painted it before the RSO and probably could have done a better job. In my excitement I managed to put the RH track on back to front. The DS track was well and truely stuck to the running gear by the time I noticed, so I'm stuck with it on this occasion.

The crewman, in the special reed green uniform, is by AB purchased from Eureka Minatures, back when Nick had the liscence for AB WWII figures.

This vehicle will (eventually) be placed with the RSO as a vignette.

ACE 1/72 Raupenschlepper OST RSO (type 01)

Here are a couple of in progress photos of the Ace Raupenschlepper OST RSO (type 01). As you can see next to an AUS $1 coin it isn't a huge model. The detail is (from reading reviews) pretty much what you would expect from Eastern Europe, that is, kind of soft. The running gear was a real hassle to get aligned and the drive sprockets didn't mate with the PE tracks (I'll hide that sin under layers of mud when I base the model)

I found the PE track interesting to work with up to the point where I had to bend it around the running gear. After bagging the DS tracks on the Dragon T34-85 I'd have loved to have some with this model.
