Herman,
No, not really ( unless I hork something up monumentally ;o) I will need to find or have some early StuG decals or stencils done for #24. Those should be the last of it.
regards,
Painless

As for decals, try the 1/72nd scale Luftwaffe range. I got a sheet of Balkenkruez that will do 10 tanks of all age ranges.
I can assume the similar sheets of letters & numbers would work as well.
Or, you could just get the right ones

Alpha,
Probably something like the reason that folks in England get their stuff quicker still...Simple geographics.

Post brought another Flak 36 crewman today. It was a good evening. I answered a question that had been nagging me, ( would the recoil and flash from the Pz III actually fit in this early StuG )? Yes! With only a minimum of sanding and fitment. That was a big relief. I did some minor prep work like turning the trunnions upside down to correct the angle then set it aside for the sunlight hours and the weekend. I finished up the night by inking out the locations of the replacement hinges before I sanded the resin versions off. Pictures:
