Not a real one, unfortunately...
I'm doing a dio inspired by an artists rendition of German Paras and HG troops moving by Anzio Annie. I've got most of the troops, the K5, a Kubel, an AA gun...now all I need to add is a STUG III for some of the paras to ride. Needless to say, it's costing quite a bit of $$ as I realize what's all in the picture!!
In the picture, the Stug is an ausf. F. But, at this point, I'm having problems finding any that don't have the winter tracks or the short barrel.
Any advice on a good "cheap" Stug III F or G would be of great help. Thanks!!

Hi Steve-o
Is this what you need?
I have two of this kit - so I'd be interested in a trade if you want?
Lemme know :-)

The DML kit Jeff showed is the best out there.
For a 'cheap' option, Zvezda market the same kit (minor reworking of the sprues, and more flash and sinkmarks) with single piece tracks. I know how similar the kit is, because I had both and looked at them side by side. The sprues have been changed by Zvezda, but it's the same kit. You can get the Russian version for less money, but if you are already investing in a nice big dio, you can't go wrong with the DML one.
