Thanks Steen,
now it is time to make all the welds. The cone head bolts in front are replaced by new nuts M4 from Knupfer ( with small key-with ) and reduced the high to approx. 3mm, so it looks near to the origin. Also added some hex. screws on the roof plate.

Michaels detail parts really take the Stug III/PzIII to a new level. Really nice looking hull.
Best regards,
