+1, it’d be nice to have this model in game to play alongside the already existing early model!
+1 for me
The Schützen that The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum fabricated for their StuG III restoration, would be the type that is shown on the drawings.

Not just the type, the document (in general not just the pages posted by me) shown in the video is the same i think.

Dunno if I’m late to this but I’d like to point out there were differences between Alkett and MIAG produced StuG’s.
Alkett and MIAG both produced different types of steel return rollers. Though you sometimes see a combination on the same vehicle.
Alkett had square cable clamps on the fenders whilst MIAG produced were round.
Alkett StuG’s were produced with the five pilzen starting in October 1944. MIAG meanwhile started with three pilzen in December 1944 until January 1945, after which they adopyed the five pilzen.
Alkett introduced the topfblende in October 1943 whilst MIAG would keep the kastenblende. However some MIAG produced StuG’s towards the end of the war are shown with the topfblende. From what I can gather, Alkett had produced too many and a few ended up in MIAG factories.
Alkett and MIAG also produced different patterns of zimmerit. Alkett applied waffle zimmerit, MIAG applied a square pattern.
In early 1944, Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 190 would adopt an improvised style of pivoting schurzen. By 1945, Alkett had officially adopted this for the StuG’s. MIAG however would continue to use the larger fixed schurzen until the end of the war.

The Plural of Pilz is Pilze not Pilzen. (Mushroom)
