I am looking at getting the Eduard Stug IIIB Detail set and the Aber fender set for my DML Stug III ausf A. Will these both work with my kit and are they worth the money, about $27US?

I can only say from personal experience that any PE set is worth the extra money and effort for nearly any kit.
As far as the fender set goes, I have yet to work with one, nor with German armor.

Steve, Aber has a set for Stug III ausf A, but I think the B set will prolly work for most of the parts. I had done my Stug III ausf A with the A set which is nice. 27 bucks for both sets is not bad price.

What was the difference between Ausf A and B?

I need to check my reference, I think the main difference is something to do with armor thickness, tracks from 36 to 40cm, then the placement of tools are different.
