Can I use these parts on my Hybrid StuG III C/D 1945?

Ben,

The tracks are fine...solid guide horns were in wide-spread use (and appear simultaneously with hollow guide horns as well) from 1943 onward. They can work for you but you'd be better off accuracy-wise with ATL-27 since those have the chevron-cleat faces.

You're also fine with your choice of barrel and muzzle brake as that style was in use until very late '44 (October-November) when the full circular brake began to appear, so it's quite possible for it to still be around in '45.

Hey Bill,

That's a big relief matey, thanks for that! The tracks look nice and will definately bring a different look to the cabinet as all my Friuls on my Pz and StuG III's have open horns!

Righto, onwards and upwards!

Thanks again,

Ben

Hello chaps,

I've been looking into the barrel a bit more and although I have found the one that the kit comes with StuG III G Final (RB 35B89) I've looked at the photo below and am pretty sure that this StuG does not have this muzzle brake! It looks like a middle version that I've got with the oval shape (RB 35B05), not the full rounded late type?

Can someone confirm this? This photo is apparently what this kit is based on - right down to the numbering on the Casemate (123):

What do you reckon - I'd be very interested to hear what you think is on this StuG here?

Cheers guys,

Ben
