Hey Mac.
Right now I‘m building my 5th StuG.
They did not have the light on the right front fender.
They only run the Notek on the bow.
You can either swap the plastic Notek for a metal, wired one or leave it the way it is.
Mine are all with the plastic Notek.

Another thing you could change, take that MG LED out of the driver‘s vision port, and cut away that plastic circle inside the vision port.

But it is your assault gun, so it will be your decision if you want to change these things.

Rob.

Mac1962: Rob59 has some workable suggestions, ones that probably could be carried out without any need for major repaint, etc. I would want to give that black chain at the rear a rust-up, and I would remove the bundle of (to my eyes) too heavy "rope" in the rear stowage. (I, too, have been looking for more convincing 1/16 scale "rope.") Otherwise I would not at all want to lose any of the autumn leaves atop the three-color camouflage. I love it!

Talking about that huge chain….hmm…
Actually I do not know, why so many builders ad these out of proportion chains, to their Panzers?
I cannot recall any pics of real tanks back then, carrying these huge, heavy chains.
They had towcables instead.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Looking good. And just in time for autumn. That would get lost in my yard.
