Basiscally i would like to do a not usually seen color scheme on a 3G early. Thanks for the help

The 1942/43 time period would be your best time period to research. Are you looking for a short or long barreled version?

You could build it as a Finnish Stug. They had some interesting schemes and you don’t see a whole lot of them in magazines or contests:

Lots of pics and ideas in Squadron/Signal’s Stug III In Action if you can get your hands on a copy.

Concord Publications just released a terrific book on StuGs called “German Sturmartillerie at War” which has a lot of color plates and oodles of photos.

FOr weird paint schemes though, the Finnish one is the way to go.

I noticed that they used a lot of “pimple plate” for the fenders, and I don’t think anybody made the stuff till after the Korean War. Perhaps I’m wrong, but for sure that’s not tread plate like we would normally think of.

hey foster, thanks for the link. I am doing a multicolor stug thhat may or may not be acurate but it looks like it would blend in well in autumn.
