glen, I think if you are doing an early one you should use the Notek, late version with the Bosch. As you can see in my other pics with the side skirt, I kept both..... :-) They are operational so I use the little BB switch to select them. Mine is IR anyway. The HL Stug comes with both, but only the Bosch one is operational witht he standard HL LED. You can keep the Notek mount and just replaced the top part to make it working Notek, also from WDM. (My Stug is basically a WDM Stug.......).

Hi glenny.

Looking at Muller and Zimmerman's pretty definitive two volume Sturmgeschutz III books it has to be just the centrally mounted Notek light every time. The fender mounted Bosch light is a legacy from the Heng Long panzer III and was not present on the Stugs from Ausf F onwards...

Hope this helps!

I have one for my own (much delayed) Stug project.

Can't recall who makes it but it came from Steve at Welsdragon - so look on his site.

Here it is!
