This Stug is very beautiful with these details. Can I ask you where do you find saukopf mantlet and concrete parts? One day, I would like to made a Stug, but only with this saukopf, but I don' t find one.

I may have mentioned this before but I envy the finish on your tracks! A beautiful blend of deep surface rust and steel. Eye candy for folks like me that appreciate realism. I would shake your hand if possible.

Well, several German suppliers sell the Saukopf mantlet.
Look at Licmas, Rctank and Asiatam.
Mine is from Asiatam, just because they were the cheapest. Just under €10.00. Other suppliers charge much more.
The Asiatam one, needed quite some work to get it fit. But for that price, I should not complain.
The concrete stuff comes from the Sockelshop, also German. Parts are made by Atak in Poland.
Now you can start your StuG project too.....
Good luck.
