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.
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...

For sure a tidy way of filling that gap.
I might try A retrograde version on mine.

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.

You have some superb, and inspiring refinements on the StuG, Rob. :thumbup: You should be proud of your handiwork. :clap: If it were mine, I would be :D

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.
