Chassis number- 92509, Alkett~May 1943
Part of the first group of 30 early Stug III G's delivered to Finland. This one on August 10th, 1943.
Accomplished 9 Kills during the war. Making her the 2nd highest scorer.
After some research I've learned that for whatever reason it is not common to find any of the early batch sporting any of the Finnish modifications even though they were indeed outfitted similarly or exactly the same.
Here is a renovated Later war unit from the second batch with all the modifications in tact.
Here is some unit information related to combat
She is an interesting subject to say the least.
Plans are in motion.
And here we are at the begin of the beginning.
My plan is as follows. "Lea" will be my guide. I've found quite a bit about her and the original 30. I will add several of the Finnish upgrade details. Lower hull side armor plates, Upper hull logs, Drivers Visor, Rear deck rack, Modify the Loaders MG shield, Front track rack. But no Concrete. I honestly don't like it and as I've read, it wasn't on all of the early Stugs anyway. And sporting a pretty cool color and camouflage pattern. Of course she'll need some damage and dirty dirty girl weathering. I'm very glad I found a G that doesn't require Schurzen as I'm not a huge fan of the early kit.
