To change the skin from the vehicle you need to fill in a new animator_bp (located in GameData\entity_blueprint\animator_bp in the ebps file). Then fill in the location of the .abp file, the same way the current one was shown.

[Celution]

Of course it's done through the ModStudio, and no it's not that hard.

Madjo first you should know that Stug and stuH 42 share the same skin, so i am going to assume that doesn't matter to you.

1) First open the mod studio
2) The models and its skins are located in Data/art/models/races/........ so if you want to change the stug/stuh skin go to Data/art/models/races/axis/vehicles/stug_iv/......
in there extract with right mouse botton the "model" folder. Then go to your company of heroes folder, get in the folder of your mod and follow the address of stug_iv. When you get there open the folder named 'model' and you will see the skin files, replace it with the ones you have.

and remember the skin must be in ''.rgt" format

@Madjo I had changed the names in ebps to get 3 different Churchill look at my mod to see how I did it.
