Heng Long Stug III availability?

[tisaksen]

Hi,

Why does so few shops stock the Stug III from Heng Long ? I see countless listings all over the internet and there's hardly anyone who has the Stug III.
Did they stop production or are they simply not as popular?

It's true yes they do seem a bit rare, the ones on Ebay always go for a good price.
I have one that I'll never sell.

Stug tops, however, are quite easy to track down and can be easily mated to a PzIII bottom.

I have the beginnings of a Stug III made up of a smoke and sound, metal-geared HL Panzer III bottom and an HL Stug top.

Depending on how accurate you want to be you will have to lose those side hatches (although there was a Stug based on this model of Pz III it also had that tank's front transmission hatches which are different from the Stug's).

Mine is likely to acquire a saukopf cast mantlet, waffle pattern zimmerit and all sorts of whistles and bells.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking of getting the asiatam panzer III metal hull then I'll just buy a top and everything else on ebay. Might as well go metal right away
