Operation Blackcock - The Opposition

I have now built and base coated the British tanks that I need for the Operation Blackcock project, although I am still thinking of adding a troop of Shermans, so it's time to move onto the Germans. I already have three Panzer IV's, a couple of Panther and Tigers, together with a single StuG IV, so I could just use those. However, as most of the German AFV's were self propelled anti-tank and assault guns, it would be better to build some instead.

This weekend I'm going to assemble three StuG IIIG late model assault guns, using the excellent Plastic Soldier Company kit, which I'm hoping won't take as long as the various conversion jobs I've done of late. The kits are based on the PSC Panzer IV sprues, so I'm pretty sure they'll be simple to construct and look really good. After that, I should be ready to start painting both the British and the German armour, which will move the project a little bit further toward the finishing line.
