StuG. III F/8 Early Production HG Div. Sicily

H K
This kit is based on StuG.III Ausf.F/8 (Dragon 6644, 1:35) so one would think Dragon would at least correct the errors in the instruction. Well, sometimes they do, sometimes the... forget it. So:
Step 1: Switch around R5 and R6
Q38 is Q22

Step 3: The Stug bible SCM Book: says to add B42/ 43/ 44
Step 6: The holes in fender W2 are allready there, so no need to open them^^
Step 7 ( and 9) : There is no M sprue in this kit. M4 is V4, M1 is V1, and M1 in step 9 is V3
Step 8: Only add the MG shield if you are doing a HG Stug. The shield in this kit is a troop modification of that division
Step 11: You want to add G40 to D19/ 20/ 6 🙂
Step 12: a20 does not fit to D7. And rightfully so 🙂 This Stug was built on a Panzer III Ausf. M hull, so a22 and a13/ 14 are the correct parts. Forget D7.

cont.: Q11 are the holders for the tow cables on the fenders.
