EuroModelismo - Stug III

Para poder almacenar cajones con equipo y bagajes, latas de combustible, etc., con mucha frecuencia las tripulaciones solían soldar barras o tiras de metal alrededor de la cubierta del motor. Este modelo G final muestra un camuflaje bastante interesante, que está formado por sinuosas líneas verticales de los colores Oilvgrun RAL 6003 y Rotbraun RAL 8017 sobre el color base Dunkelgelb RAL 7028. Una práctica habitual en esta etapa de la guerra, era complemencar el blindaje de la parte delantera de la casamata añadiendo cemento sobre las planchas ¡nclinadas. A su vez, en caso de pérdida de los faldones laterales denominados Schürzen, la carencia se contrarrestaba colocando dos o tres troncos de árbol a cada lado de la casamata, y rellenando el espacio que quedaba entre ésta y aquellos con tramos de oruga.

Model Airplane International 2005-11

This kit comprises two grey sprues, a small etched fret, the resin parts, the vac-formed canopies and a decal sheet. Even though the main plastic parts are nicely moulded with just a little flash, I didn't like the engraved panel lines, as they varied in both thickness and depth. I also feel that Special Hobby have failed to realistically reproduce the cowling as the flaps looked very poor, being thick and faintly defined. In think that a separate resin cowling would have been an ideal solution. Fortunately the rest of the parts seemed to be much better, with the resin parts free of bubbles and the etched parts (produced by Eduard) were of their usual high quality. I also appreciated the inclusion of the spare canopy, even though the clear plastic used showed a blue tint, this disappeared once the canopy was attached.

Model Airplane International 2005-12

Along with Mikhoyan's MiG-29 Fulcrum it was one of the types in the late 1980s that shocked much of the Western world when they appeared at Russian air shows. Little did anyone know at the time that the Su-27 was going to spawn a whole family of highly competitive, highly effective, aircraft. Whilst the MiG has been overshadowed by the F-16 in the commercial world since the collapse of the U.S.S.R. the Sukhoi design has turned heads whenever it has appeared and has shown itself to be a financial winner. The Flanker was also allegedly Instrumental in the USAF getting the funding for its F-22 Raptor because once the top brass heard how their F-I5s had been controversially beaten up in joint exercises with Indian AF Su-27s, the money for the new American jet aircraft was soon appropriated from other projects.
