DML Sturmpanzer IV mid mit zimmerit
After a long hiatus, some progress on the Dragon Sturmpanzer IV "Brummbar" middle version mit zimmerit. Substituted some extra "magic" link to link tracks for the DS runs. As others have noted, the gun assembly sits too high and prevents the casemate from sitting flush on the lower hull so the bottom part of the gun base had to be shaved down fairly substantially. The driver's box still seems to be a little high, so may need to remove locating pins so it is flush with lower hull. Small gap at front of lower hull needs a little filling but otherwise generally very good fit (except for gun as noted above). Intend to finish as vehicle of Sturmpanzer Abt. 217 which fought in France in late summer 1944. Pictures indicate a spare track rack was added to each side of the superstructure. The camo scheme is a little unclear from the couple of pics of (destroyed) vehicles from this unit.
