Another StuG from Bronco, seen at Scalemates:



Looks cool, a 2-in-1 kit at that. Seems like Bronco's on a roll with these StuGs

It DOES look cool! I wonder what the "2-in-1" implies..? Perhaps a choice between the "short" 7.5cm with the "boxy" Gun Mantlet, and a "long" 7.5cm with the "Saukopf"..?

Yes. The option is for the L/24 or L/48. Only the cast mantlet is offered for the L/48.

Thanks, I was really hoping to build one of the early model Stugs up gunned with the l/48 in 1945.

I'm with you there, Tony! My DAK StuG.III will look great, near my DAK Tiger I, and DAK Pz.III Ausf.L. Sort of a DAK "Triad", one could call it...

This is cool! I like the late mantelet & gun on the early Stug III. Guess I won't be buying the Cyber Hobby Orange Bix one!

Here's more, from http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article/stug-iii-ausf-c-d-in-1-35/24123



Haven't seen any release date as yet -- it'll surely be a cool Christmas gift if it's out by December. Hobby Easy has the Ausf E orderable since July, the DAK version orderable this month.

The real deal. One of very few, maybe the only, preserved example of a Stug IIID (DAK?) at the Swedish armour museum. Unfortunately not part of the exhibition at the moment.
