It's good to have you along oaths GB Rick.
I think your Stug may be finished just a tad quicker than my Panther! You've really cracked on with the build and it looks nice and tidy.
I see the Stug has a Saukopf mantlet - you could possibly model this as an Arnhem vehicle. Most of them didn't have vehicle numbers anyway and would give you the option to spray the tri-colour camouflage. Although to be more accurate you would need to add Zimmerit.
Anyway it's good to have you along.
Good luck
Paul
It looks a nice kit Rick for its age.
I've loads of ref for these vehicles should you require it. Should be really easy to fabricate the shorten hangers and the stowage guard rail on the back.

BTW. The bolted mantlet type were also in evidence at Arnhem (but I think I prefer the Saukopf )

I can't see the link.
I think you may have to use the chain button in the top bar to paste in links now.

I like the relaxing tank crew scene!
And you're right with division: Hohenstaufen 9SS - as part of the 2nd SS Amoured Corps, together with their sister division 10SS Frundsberg, were present at Arnhem. I don't think any of the Stugs at Arnhem would have this divisional badge though - most vehicles seem completely without markings apart from the odd national cross.
Looking forward to seeing this Stug progress - you seem to like this bit of armour!

Monica my build is here only to demonstrate the details peculiar to Stürmgeschutz Brigade 280 but thank you. It's Rick's thread however.
Rick wil you be modelling a knocked out Stug - Baskeyfields action?
Cheers
