                        Other than the photo on page 44 of Sturmgeschutz III in Action and the color plate on page 77 of Walk Around Sturmgeschutz III Ausf G, I don't think I have any other photos of these vehicles, and I have several books on just Sturmgeschutz. It would help if we knew which unit it was.
                        The later states these vehicles in question were produced after Zimmerit application had ended, for what that is worth.....

                        "This late production StuG III Ausf.G (111) saw service in Russia during the late fall of 1944. The crew has painted the eyes, ears, and tusks of an elephant's head on the Topfblende cast gun mantlet. Zimmerit was no longer applied to StuG III's beginning in September of 1944."

                        If you're looking at the one on page 67 of volume one, that is a different one than the one Tankbuild is looking for.

                        Yes, the Panzer colours one has eyes and a mouth with teeth (and waffle pattern Zim). Tankbuild's has eyes and just the boar's tusks with slit mouth.

                        Can I ask where you found the decals for the tusks? I always liked that paintjob, but didn't know they made decals. Thanks

                        heh, I used the opposite strategy...buit a very early StuH42 with the bolted armor to avoid having to do the zim...interesting the lengths we go to at times, eh? Big Smile [:D]

                        Tankbuild,

                        I know it's not an accurate battlefield picture, but I've seen a Bandai Sturmgechutz IV on the Bay Area Tankers website with the boar's head and tusks on the mantlet. If you're interested, cruise over to their website and check it out.

                        Interesting to see the CMK artwork lacks the bolts on the armour panel on the front hull in front of the loaders position but adds in the remote control MG not in the pic of the actual vehicle.

                        Good point Petbat. For that matter, CMK added a gun travel lock and it appears to have changed the drive sprocket as well.
