Overview
1/16 Scale German Stug III (F8) Upgrade Edition by Heng Long - RTR - HLG3868-001
The Sturmgeschütz III (Stug III) assault gun was Germany's most popular fully tracked armored fighting vehicle during World War II. It utilized a modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire infantry support, the Stug III was continually modified, and like later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer. The F8 variant featured an improved and more heavily-armored hull compared with earlier versions.
Heng Long has produced RC tanks more than 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks. All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK7.0 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, versatility, and upgrade potential!

I would consider the Stug iii a great tank for first timers such as myself to own in order to expand the collection amongst handling the product. My preference with appointing more detail for the mere future of this product is the ability to open the other hatches. I think that would be neat for modelers to have that extra detail. It would be interesting to have the MG hatch, the driver and navigator hatches to open. Another interesting detail is camouflaging examples that were used and accurate when the stug was used in the war. Thanks again for such a great product, I look forward to expanding the collection.

Nice tanks and good hobby for an old retired guy :)
