Panzer III to Stug conversions

[Shane Wolfe]

Hello there. I have recently been given a PIII and would like to convert to Stug III, can anyone tell me if there is a upper hull available that would just bolt on, as it were? I have limited modelling skills so the easier the better!

Yep!

Assuming your talking Heng Long then the Stug upper simply replaces the Panzer III upper.

I have the beginnings of a Stug III made up of a smoke and sound, metal-geared HL Panzer III bottom and an HL Stug top. This was courtesy of Lewis Nielson at Panzer-Command / siam_aor who I can recommend very highly indeed for his very friendly service and keen pricing on (and off) ebay. Here's the listing I won:

I know for a fact he has other's available. If you're interested I will pm you his email address.

Depending on how accurate you want to be you will have to lose those side hatches (although there was a Stug based on this model of Pz III it also had that tank's front transmission hatches which are different from the Stug's).

Mine is likely to acquire a saukopf cast mantlet, waffle pattern zimmerit and all sorts of whistles and bells.

That looks the business! I'll take a look at that link and hopefully that will be a fun start. Cheers for your help! Shane.
