Thank you Dwight. I hope I won't ruin it. Thanks Bucky. I do my best Joe and sometimes it works out and sometimes it's disastrous lol. I fiddled on a bit more. The gun's muzzle brake was not the correct type and I didn't want to purchase a metal barrel so I sculpted a cover as seen on many wartime images. I filled the muzzle brake and then the cover itself was sculpted. A piece of cotton cloth was used together with a toothpick to give it a canvas feel. Once hardened I added a piece of thin copper wire as a cord. ONLY FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES. The convoi light in the kit wasn't the accurate one on the Bose Stug and I hadn't a spare one so a suitable one was to be scratched. It's the tube model.
OK, let's paint this Zerman oddball. 😅

Well Joe and Jon I wish you could visit my hobbyroom as well, and after that my whisky bar. You make me blush btw. Both of you guys are so talented I feel pretty novice. Nothing much today, just a bit of basic rust color on the add on tracks.

Thanks Joe. I removed the deflector since I found a b/w photo which was a good reference. It told me that what I fabricated was complete rubbish! 😅 Meanwhile I got to the spraywork but I'm glad the Stug has its typical deflector now. Next is to add the whitewash to it and then I can move on more straightforward.
