Interesting Stug . I like the idea of the Germans going for a longer 75mm gun ( did you use a US 76mm from a Sherman ?) , but not a gun as long as the Panther's , no room inside the Stug to mess with those long rounds . Not too sure about the hedge row cutter though , your going to end up fouling the gun if you try ramming stuff over 5 ft high . Most Allied tanks that had it ( 75mm Sherman , Churchill Croc , M-10 , etc ) either had guns that didn't hang over the nose of the tank , or had turrets so you could spin the gun away from obstructions . I would say quite a few of us who check this site daily tend to lean to the scale model builder side of the hobby , so we might not get what your trying to convey with your " what if / fantasy " builds so to speak . I build the occasional odd piece myself from time time , some guys get it , some guys don't , don't sweat it . It's your hobby , build it the way you want .
As a scale model builder , if I decided to add that longer gun to the Stug ,I would have gone all Heer 46 on the kit , add swinging side skirts , remote control roof mg 34 , concrete armor over the front roof sections , and a group of Hitler Youth with automatic rifles and pazerfausts , but thats me
.
