Building the Airfix Vintage Classics 1:76 Stug III

Hello and welcome to Scale Stuff, In this weeks video I am going to be building and painting the Airfix Vintage Classics 1:76 scale Stug III 75mm assault gun. Kit number A01306V.
In this video I build this old school model kit from start to finish and give a few tips on how to get a good finish out of this model.
I also go over a few bits that I had trouble with when building this kit so you need to have the same problems.
I really enjoyed building this little assault gun its always nice to revisit some of the classic kits despite some of the problems that they have.

When I built this kit I stapled the tracks together,well tidy build..

[@scalestuff1066]

Does the job, I used to staple tracks together, one thing with these old kits is the tracks are abit naff.And thanks mate

[@rotwang2000]

There is something satisfying about building an Airfix kit. Just some good old nostalgia fun.

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah totally agree, this one was the first I must have done 30 vintage classics since this one now, all filmed and upcoming, but yeah nostalgia is a hell of a drug

[@rotwang2000]

@@scalestuff1066 Fond memories of the Avro Anson, the Sterling, the Rotodyne, the Angel Interceptor and even the Stug III, I would leave the gun unglued so it looked a little bit like an early version.
Recently found an old 94-95 Matchbox catalogue, many great kits there as well, including the Spitfire, first kit I ever did.

How much do you dilute the paint to use as a wash, please?

[@scalestuff1066]

depends on what its going over, this one as its a light base i water it down maybe 3 drops water to 1 drop paint? more heavy washes i aim for milk consistency
