Stug III at the Museum of the American GI

If you have been able to attend the Museum of the American GI's open house the last couple of years, you couldn't miss the new Stug III! 
We wre also lucky enough to have itjoin our Hetzer at the Texas Military Forces Museum's Muster Day Celebration in April.  But, believe it or not, the Stug started life as this;
The British FV 432 Armored Personnel Carrier.  According to the crew, the work was done in Sweden and Mr. Mullins bought it from a collector.  The following photos show the immense amount of work that has gone into the conversion.  It scales out to about 60% of the size of a Stug III and has been equipped with a propane main gun and MG 34.  I would like to say "thank you" to the Museum of the American GI.  Please visit their site and show your support;





and enjoy the following tour;
Now try to convert a Tamiya Stug III into an FV 432!
