Anybody know if kit 6454 had the 75 mm gun in the kit? Found one for decent price but would like to do it as a Stug Ausf G. (Far as I can tell externally the only difference is the barrel. (Want to do a Normandy era Ausf G with hessian camo net and zim on the exposed parts.) I've looked on a couple of sites that show the parts breakdown but none a clear enough.

Hi Tim,
The 75mm barrel is included, see this shot (sprue F): https://www.super-hobby.co.uk/zdjecia/5/3/7/1402_1_dra6454_9.jpg from here:

It looks like from the instructions that you use the 75mm breech with the 10.5 barrel, so using the 75mm barrel would be more accurate. I looks like this kit is missing the slide molded muzzle brakes that are included with the newer stug G kits.

Saw that one. Missed the extra barrel. From what I read in one of the reviews said the 105 breech is on the sprue with the 105 barrel. Thanks for the intel.
