New static kit coming to join their Stug offering that is shipping now.

Looks like it will have multiple options for the rear deck and gun types. Pre-order price at Andy's is $119.00.

Looks like good donor to make proper looking Panzer III (using i.e Taigen lower hull). Fun fact: Taigen / Heller is planning to release Panzer III ausf. M with Schürzens.

My Stug III just arrived today. Besides a look-it-over, my kit will likely sit unbuilt for a while, as there is, unh, something of a backlog. ;D. However, I plan to order the Pzkw. III in early January, after my pension comes in.

I would be interested to know if it fits the HL or Taigen lower hull. I'm in the same boat right now though...to many projects and no time to work on them since I've been back in college at age 48...

Perhaps this could be the trumpeter panzer III

I'v just got Heller (Trumpeter) Stug III. In the future I'm planning to put it on Taigen chassis. About the fit - overal dimensions are very similar to Heng Long /Taigen upper hull. But the model fenders are attached to the hull (as in the real vehicle) so some rework of this will be needed. Front plate (transmission cover) is attached to the hull, almost no connection to the rest of the upper structure. This part need to be strenghten to be used on RC tank.
