This is really a fantastic addition to your range... Thank you!
Pinky:
Looks really good - it's great that you've tackled the StuG. The only omission that's noticeable is the non-slip pattern on the mudguards. I think you mentioned before that this was quite tricky to mould (although you did it on your Panzer IV). The air intakes are also a bit bland - they should have a mesh pattern, or at least some slots. The wheels look right - assuming they have large and small holes and no protruding bolts. Good on you for re-doing these, rather than sticking with the Panzer II's.
I do have a query about the exhausts. My sources show that the Ausf G had two fairly flat, angular mufflers, with quite stubby exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipes were angled, rather than curved. The deflector shield seems to have fitted over the top of this, so that the exhaust pipes angled around it. Can we see a better photo of the exhausts on your kit?
Laffe:
Looks good, but I echo Pinky's comment about the non-slip pattern.

iv picked up a few of your kits now and as a veteran modeler i must say i am very happy with what i have had from Rubicon thus far....i look forward to to this as it's basically the tank i am missing from my Germans....so the only question that really needed to be asked is when do plan to get this out to masses ????
