Hello everybody,

I recently finished the Tamiya Stug IV, and used the decal for the "251 Brigade", just because I like the look of the insignia. But when I tried to research the unit history, I can find no mention of a 251 Sturmartillerie Brigade. Can someone tell me where to find info on that unit, or if the information on the unit ID in the Tamiya kit is faulty? It's the insignia with the red bird head and yellow beak.

Thanks for any replies.

Should be Stug Br 259:

Nope, that's not the one. Wish I could post a pic of it. This is the best image of it that I have of my model.

Dan,

Can't see the image.
Which decal did you use?

Left hand column, middle image. Looks like an eagle looking upwards.

That one says '259'.

As Marc and Shell said...259

Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 259 later renamed Sturmgeschütz Brig. 259

Cheers,

Thanks for the info. I double-checked the instructions and the English version clearly says 251 Brigade. So that's where my confusion comes from.

Thanks again for the heads up/
