These were built from PzIII chassis (tanks and stugs) mostly captured at Stalingrad.
From the fall of 1943 to early 1944 about 1200 were produced. After they became obsolete they were used for training.
Aires makes the resin conversion that i'm using but two or three others made one as well.
Hauler makes a 1/48th set too.
The mantlet is textured but the rest is pretty smooth. It looks like granite because Aires used some sort of filler in the resin.
I watched E-Bay and ask around until I found one.
