Looking to source AM items for the Dragon kit 6417, for the Stug III G (Early Prod) as Lt Georg Bose.

Question: with the decals set in 1944 would this Stug have had zimmerit paste applied - if so which pattern - normal or waffle..? Any advise appreciated.

Regards

Models produced between September of 1943 and September of 1944, were factory applied with Zimmerit (anti-magnetic paste) with "waffle plate" or standard design. At the same time, many Stug IIIs already in service were also applied with Zimmerit.

Many thanks,
I have found an image of him on his tank with his crew and a couple of others. It is in a pdf file so not sure how to post on here, but there is no zimmerit, but a number of other modifications which are different to the Dragon kit... Will post more as able.
