I really think you did a good job on construction, painting, weathering and diorama building. I have looked at many photos of winter camouflaged AFVs and they can be seen in a pristine overall white down to a barley visible white color. Mud is very much present when there is little or no snow on the ground and the temperature has risen enough to soften the soil on the roads. I admire you for trying new techniques and still moving forward on the kit even when things do not go as planed. This is a mark of a good modeler and I look forward to your next tutorial.
I made the mistake to build the MiniArt Stug 42 howitzer after I built the Vespid Panther. So I got the same feeling you have. It’s disappointing. The plastic looks and feels really cheap. Like a limited run kit. Still, it is very detailed and in some regards even overly complicated. Like what you said about the gun and the wheels. The Dragon Stug is far superior to MiniArt, but I got the MiniArt on sale and with the added details I still think I got a relatively good buy. However, if you want to build a better Stug, Dragon and aftermarket OKB tracks will be much better. As for your winter camouflage, buddy, I’ve got very good books with highly realistic colored drawings of tanks, combined with black and white photos. So I think I can honestly say your paint job nailed it. Perhaps it didn’t go the way you wanted, but the results are as realistic as anyone could possibly hope for. So that’s my two cents on the matter. Cheers, Any.
@26:28 The Dragon kit in The Netherlands floats around 17-23 euros, this Miniart kit floats around 19-25 euros. Is the pricing so much different elsewhere?
here it's completely opposite, this kit is around 18€ while dragon kit can go up to 21 to 25€, which isn't the most worth it in my opinion, altho I would love to get the neo track panzer 3 since it seems to be the best in 1/72
Very nice build, also love the backround music👍

The white paint problem is probably due to the type of acrylic u use. What paint did you use?
