There is also the option of building a StugIII without the side skirts.

Many StugIIIG's didn't have the side skirts.

Just another option.

I believe he has Dragon's F. I'm sure Eduard makes some, they make most anything. I'll need to pick some up for my G.

They are also easy to make on your own with plastic sheet. My friend made his that way, I did my tamiya without them, it depends on where the vehicle served.

I made mine using thin brass sheeting . It was cheap, about $1.50 at the hobby store. I made brackets out of Plastruct angle . I used the brass sheeting because it enables you to get the dings and bends to look real, just like the p/e parts.
sorry for the crappy pic, its the only one I have of this kit.
