nice paint scheme! looks operation citadel ready. is this the disruptive camo?
It is one of the color schemes they used on them in 1943.

I got it from reading through my copt of "Stug.Abt.Brig. 210" by Karlheinz Munch, page 231 shows newly arrive Stugs in the Stalino area in march 1943.

The stugs at that time appear to be delivered in "yellow", then patches of green or brown were added in the field.

While I try to get the best quality job on my models, to the best of my limited abilities , I do think a lot of the field applied camo would not have been autobody shop quality. On page 240 of the book, they show camo being applied by teenagers in a farm courtyard turned motorpool in Russia, I am sure the paint jobs had overspray, bugs and weed seeds in it, to name a few imperfections

The decals came from Germany, here is a link to the supplier, there are several Stug decal sets on it;
