Hi Im building a Stug III Ausf.G late model would it be corect to put the woven sheet skirts on or would they only have the solid sheet ones ? However I have zimmerited my Stug . And I have read mesh skirts were introduced in Sept. 1944 , I think zimmerit was abandoned by then ?

Thanks Littletankman

Why not fit a mixture of mesh (thoma) and solid skirts. You could get away with this on the premise that the mesh skirts were fitted in the field to replace lost solid plate skirts.

Cheers

Hi John good idea they could I supose be altered as they have a different hanging method . But I like the idea . It would look good , thanks.

Tanks were altered in the field so within reason you can get away with a lot customising.

Hi Stevie,

Yer it would look intresting with mixed skirts and Im sure they could alter the brackets in the field . Id like to see a wartime picture of a Stug III Ausf.G with mesh or with mixed skirts ? Oh and zimmereted  to

Thanks Andy
