Hippo Team Stug III F

This kit is under the Platz name. I think Platz would have been better off making decal sheets for the various tanks and teams from the Girls und Panzer show. These kits can be hard to find. They have been out of stock from Hobby Link Japan for awhile now. I found this from an Ebay seller here in the US,for $75. I have seen these kits got for around $150.
It is the older Imperial Series from Dragon. It comes with no crew members. It does have the DS type of tracks,the late 40 cm type with the solid guide horns,and a small PE set.
Markings are for three types. Two panzer gray,and the red/dark yellow/white scheme,with the flags.

I'm just now seeing these for the first time. How are they to build? Difficult, easy, lots of filler and putty?

This is the older type of DML kits. It has been quite a number of years since I have built that line. They were pretty easy to build,not a lot of filler or putty was needed. I am hoping to start this kit in April.

Both JT and I have been building the Imperial Series StuIG 33B, which is essentially the same kit but with a big box instead of the StuG superstructure. It goes together well without much in the way of filler, but there are some pretty thick mould lines and sprue attachment points that will keep you "amused" for hours.

Pretty cool.
It's nice to see that they are getting the younger generation interesting in modeling via the Anime line of stuff.
