Part two painting the stug link here . • Painting and weatherin...
Introducing the all-new 1/16 StuG III Ausf G, big-scale Armor plastic model.
This video is the complete build of this beautiful plastic model kit. part one.
part two will be painting and weathering.
The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany's most-produced and successful fully tracked armored fighting vehicle during World War II, It was built on a modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful 75 mm gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified and was later employed as a tank destroyer.
This kit is due to be released in early December worldwide.
Happy scale modeling.

I've seen some comments to the effect that the assembling/glueing part is only to get to the painting part. I find glooing parts together very theraputic, especially when they fit well together (like this on here). Very good vid Andy.
@William Koppos - I could not agree more! When I read the comments on this and other modelling videos, I get the district impression that building the model is seen as a chore and a lot of people would be happy to buy a completed model and just paint it!
Yes! A build! So very happy!
incredible detail.
Add it to my Christmas wish list. Great timing on their part.
Thanks Andy this is going to be a big help when my preorder arrives. Looking forward to your painting and weathering video.
Excellent presentation. Thank you Andy.
That is one beautiful looking kit and model. I love how everything just snaps into place, so you can very easily test fit each piece. Can't wait for part 2
Pre-ordered mine right after your initial announcement. Super stoked now that I watched the video!
Nice looking kit. Looking forward to the paint job
AMAZING! Model and that original tank tread that they sent you is also awesome. Thank you for the builds.
Very excited about receiving mine. Looking forward to scratch building some schutzen for the sides too.
I preordered mine as soon as I saw the first video. This looks so good and very helpful tips Andy. Thank you.
Really looking forward to getting mine. This one will be easier to built than the Dragon in 1/35th. I hope you show the marking options in the next video. The aftermarket will go wild with this one.
Things have certainly come a long way since the Airfix models I used to build in the 50's another great video, and what detail in that model and you make it look so easy !!
Looks great. Rusting job is spot on. Thanks
Masterfully done tracks, Mr Andy:)
I can’t wait to get this. So freaking cool. Thanks for the video Andy
One of my favourite German tanks..gotta love the stug.great build andy
Pre-ordered mine when you first showed the kit. Looks really nice and can't wait to start it!
Thats massive!! love the track!!
Awesome build
This is a fantastic looking kit and a fantastic price cannot wait to get this kit good video Andy Steve
Nice job Andy. Glad to see ya building again
Lovely, definitely one to save up for, great to building again. Mike
Beautiful detail on this bit of armour 😊👍
29:29 Wow! That instruction book is very nice. 📖
Love this tank, this tank really took off after they changed the gun for sure!! Awesome build as always thanks for all ur ways u show how paint
Great video, thank you. Looking forward to receiving mine in December!
So glad I preordered one. Really looking forward to this build.
Andy that's an exciting build love that Armor!!! Wow 1/16 th what a beast !! Thank you for getting back into Armor building Cant wait for the painting and finishing effects!!! Carry on Andy !!! Excellent !!!
Watching this build 2 thought comes to mind , First I really want to get this kit as it looks amazing and second . The fit looks fantastic
Just ordered this from your site, will sit nicely alongside the Pz.KpFw.1 Ausf B that I am in the process of weathering, the detail on these 1/16 scale models certainly stands out.
Is Andy pulling a Radar O'Reilly? This week he gets a section of track in the mail, next week the engine? Maybe a road wheel? This time next year is Andy gonna due a 1:1 scale Panzer III, IV or a StuG?
I hope so! I live near him!
😂😂😂
Better than doing Klinger’s way of eating it one bolt at a time.
@@TheSaturnV True.
@@TheSaturnV 😂🤦♂️
Awesome video Andy!...cant wait for part 2.....and cant wait till my kit arrives!
Many vids show a model being built, but very few explain as thoroughly as yours. Beautifully crafted detailed kit.
Looks like a really nice model, with great fit and finish.
Now that is a seriously impressive kit. Got to get one.
great build video my friend looks a fantastic kit very detailed look forward to seeing it painted thanks for sharing
Awesome build Andy!
Using the real track as a backdrop for the model would make an awesome diorama! Nice build
Great, I like Stug. III, this is beautiful!!!
Just bought this kit and the panzer 3 from you Andy. Can’t wait to put um together. Gonna use these videos to help.
Great start!
Impressive Andy!
OMG! Clear my afternoon! Andy is building my pre order! WooHoo!
Enjoy!
I’ve been waiting for years for a Stug lll G in 1/16th….Great build, l can wait to acquire this kit.
What a beautiful kit at a great price. Definitely gonna have to get one.Especially since I randomly ordered a couple 1/16 tank figures a few months ago that will be perfect for this kit.
That is a beautiful kit
Great kit and review video.
Amazing
So happy I pre ordered mine 😀
Hope you enjoy it!
Allready orderd one for my collection. This thing is also big enough for a RC conversion. Great video Andy 😀
That is one awesome build so far Andy. Looking forward to your next video.
Finally! Have seen the posts in the group and I’m exited to see the video now 😃
Looking forward to Christmas big time this year!
This looks so cool
Very cool kit Andy......................... 👍👍👍
might need to pick one of these up!
Very interesting high quality model. Two things I must point out: the late production tracks are absolutely the same for the both the Pz.Kpfw IV and the StuG III but it was longer on the Pz.Kpfw IV by simply adding more tracks! Finally those lines on the nets are much needed fuel vents as all German tanks are highly inflammable gas!
Can't wait to get the 2 Stug models I order from Andy's Hobby.
Ordered from you , now I cannot wait to start , looks great 😀
The potential for ultra detailing is immense. Can't wait to get my grubby little Mitt's on one 😂 another great video Andy 👍
Another nice vid and build Andy, I will be getting one after seeing your vid/ buildup
Wow.....the largest scale model tanks I built as a kid in the 60's were 1:32 scale and I thought that was huge.
This is a awesome kit.
The kit looks sweet. I pre-ordered one a month ago. It's going to be an awesome Christmas this year.
At last! A ANDY build! Man I have missed your builds, the classical music segments are like the return of an old friend... now the kit itself, although not my era ( I’m a modern armour man theses days...) have to say it’s beautifully designed and put together....imagine the aftermarket kits for drivers interior and engine decks!! A stunning build and very useful for those who buy this....welcome back big fella, it’s been waaaaaaaaaaay to long!
The fighting compartment will need aftermarket too. Even just looking through the hatches, you can see that lots of items are missing.
Outstanding build video Andy. Great looking kit and, when done right, looks like a pretty good step by step build for the modeler. Many of us appreciate you still taking the time to do these construction/painting/weathering videos. Your success story is truly one for the ages and very briefly meeting you at the IPMS Nats and watching you work your vendor table you’re still the humble guy that knows his roots. Thanks again and always look forward to the next video release😊
Thanks 👍
I ordered 2, 1 for me, and 1 for my Best Friend. It will be a Christmas gift!
I really like this model . Years and years ago I had a Stug a Dragon 1/35. I'm as seriously tempted to buy this s from Andy and build this 1/16. It was the most effective AFV that the Germans had.
Nice build, Andy. Keep 'm coming. You're on the right track ! ;-)
Hi Andy hope all is well and good great video again they are to hold up the grills when working on the tank as not to hit the crew as it would fall forward if not held in place. God bless to you all,
This really is an exciting new build! :-)
A great reference for the scratch-built 1/12 scale StuG IIIG I am building on my channel, thanks.
Adam Mann is eyeing those tracks.
Always love your builds and reviews Andy so, informative. Just bought a 440 hundred kit collection of vintage 1960’s 70’s and 80’s, WWII kits some real nice stuff from Hawk, Aurora, Microscale, HobbyCraft etc. Keep up the great work it’s people love you that keep the hobby moving forward. That’s my speciality is buying and selling vintage kits.
Do you have a website?
Now that is a realy nice model 🙂!!! I must build that one. Thanks for your great videos !!!! Bengan from sweden 🙂👍
Hello Andy . I'm a new Follower of your very amazing Site but watchung your Vids for such a long time. I 've ordered my kit instantly after watch this Vid. I'm German and the Stug 3 is a historically monument in german history,despite the criminal regime whoms engineerd it. It's a wonderful peace of engeneering abilities. Fantastic Vid,keep going. With nice greets from Germany. Markus
Had mine pre-ordered for a couple of months. Can't wait to get it and start building. Because I am 59 years old, with not too good close eyesight. I figure this kit will be easier to build and paint, than a 1/35 scale one.
Bring on the paint and weathering!
I'm a little late to the party, but thank you for the build Andy! What an amazing kit! I do wish you had left the suspension working as that to me is a hugely attractive part of a model like this, but I understand why you didnt!
Hello Andy, from what I can see on other models and pictures it seems that the piece 27:35 are used to lift the vent. Very nice model. I am jealous every time I see you doing does beautiful models. Can't wait to have the space and time to do them. Great work.
No, those are the holders for the antennas when stored / not used. There are no "vents to lift" outside. In the engine bay there are shields that close off the radiators, but they are operated from within the StuG.
@@andreaslarka1633 is correct
I was looking forward to this video! thanks Andy!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters oh yes sir! ofc now I'am looking forward to your painting video (and to getting my hands on that beautiful beast 😉)
awesome! cant wait to get mine!
Just preordered mine.
Iam bussy 2 bild this 1 amazing tank 2 build. And happy new year Andy from Belgium.
Super build Andy. Shame that a lot of interior detail is hidden. You keep making videos and I'll keep watching and buying.
Nice kit. I think some 1/24 tanks would be a good idea . Maybe a Panzer II or T-26.
cant wait to get mine
Would love to see a Panzer III
Outstanding job sir! My guess as to track damage would be a Soviet 14.5mm tungsten core round fired from a PTRS or PTRD anti tank rifle. A known tactic by Russians was to aim for the tracks hoping to cause a break and aim at vision devices to blind the crew.
The "real" Tracks indeed used as Armor... because they were painted in three-tone-camo.... love them :D you did a very good job on the Build, Andy !
Thank you very much!
Great deal
Cant wait to get mine, and see what photo etch I can get.
AWESOME
Thanks 🤗
Super kit Andy - and a nice build to your credit. Was wondering if a "saukopf" mantlet option would be in the offing. Would give modelers a choice for building the variant of the StuG.
That's a pretty sick gift! And the Russian heavy mg was the dishka in 12.7mm basically Russian. 50. It's deadly seeing that strike on the track as folks don't model the heavy MG strikes on their armour just lighter bullets. But with a hole that big one one could put some serious damage on a kit.
Heck, all the hard work has been done in development [as it should be], so that this kit is 'shake and bake' as far as assembly goes. It is practically a weekend build... Clearly someone gets the notion that people don't want to headbutt a brickwall over and over, and just want to get to the painting - make it come alive. With this kind of approach, I hope there will be other 1/16 Das Werk kits... I certainly wish they'd announced a 1/16 RSO/01, instead of the upcoming 1/35 kit which seems like it might be a licensed re-pop of the old problematic Dragon kit, reading between the words on Das Werk's own website...
I will wait for the Stug experts to say whether ALL the hard work has been done.
Well i call that german quality or Deutsche Qualität :)
I find more pleasure from making than painting. However, that doesn't mean that i want to spend hours fiddling with small pieces that the carpet monster takes or instructions where its totally unclear how the damn parts are supposed to fit together or exactly where they're meant to go on the damn thing. I also don't want to spend hours with filler or sanding either.
Hi Andy, that was a excellent build review of a beast of a kit, I am looking forward to the painting video, who is going to bring out the interior set for it? Best regards from Australia to you and your family and customers.
With the engine deck and transmission cover hatches being 'workable' can we expect additional interior components being released in the near future? Hopefully a full interior kit.
