Recently I stepped into the 3d printed product range from Fat Frog Scale Models. This company from Hongkong offers highly detailed 3d printed tracks for all common German WWII tanks in scale 1/72. In the case of these Pz. III tracks the driving wheel is printedt together with the tracks. They fit for Dragon, Revell, Vespid etc. Because of the sag it will not properly fit with other brands Pz. III kits, but I'll give it a try later.
So I start this project just to look how it works. You have to build the main chassis and running gear except the driving wheels. You can glue all the wheels in place, except the idler wheels. Here I recommend to dry fit first, to make sure everything is aligned correctly. In my case the tracks seems to me 2-3 mm to short, so that I had to adjust the position of the idler wheel to get a proper fit. Here I only made an oval whole out of the round whole to fix the idler wheel a bit more forward. I also add a brass pin inside of the driving wheel to get a correct fit as well.
Well it is not a shake and bake as I first thought, but with just a little work you will get excellent tracks for your scale 1/72 tanks.
I can highly recommend this product and hope they will increase their range.
About the Dragon Stug III, nothing else to say, because it is an excellent kit!
Happy Modelling, Christian

WIP on my Dragon Stug III painting process.

1. Basic painting using Vallejo 71.025 (Dark Yellow) and highlights 71.025 + 71.001 (White)
2. Chipping and scratches using Vallejo 70.862 (Black Grey) + 71.001 and contours using 71.025 + 71.001
3. Washes using oils, Yellow Ocre, Medium Yellow, Raw Umber and White
4. Highlights using oils, Yellow Ocre, Medium Yellow, and White

Now the paint needs to dry completely before I can add final touches with oils and acrylics.

Thanx Spanjaard 🙂
The Sturmgeschütz is done. The last detail I have added was a cover in between the gun mantlet and the casemate to keep it clear from water and dust. Only later versions got this modification out of the factory. Before it is often seen as a field modification.

Finally a crew is added. I used the excellent Dynamo-models Stug crew.

Next will be a small vignette to present the Sturmgeschütz.

Happy Modelling
