"Great detail / low price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The variety and optionality of this tank are amazing (basically a 4–5 in 1) pieces are detailed very well and fit together perfectly. If you want a good little tank that you can customize and build to be whatever your heart desires then get this model.

"Great fit"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This model fitted together with no issues. Great idea to have the tracks & wheels as one piece to fit. My only gripe is that the actual detail on the tracks could be better & the fact you needed to drill a hole on the gun.

"Amazing and easy kit!"

An honest must for any German boltaction players! The Stug was an easy and fun kit to put together and highly customizable with the barrels being interchangeable if you so choose to change varients.

Description

The StuG III was designed to fill an infantry close support combat role, early models were fitted with a low-velocity 75 mm StuK 37 L/24 gun to destroy soft-skin targets and fortifications. After the Germans encountered the Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks, the StuG III was first equipped with a high-velocity 75 mm StuK 40 L/43 main gun (Spring 1942) and in Autumn 1942 with the slightly longer 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 gun. These versions were known as the Sturmgeschütz 40 Ausführung F, Ausf. F/8 and Ausf. G.

When the StuG IV entered production in late 1943 and early 1944, the “III” was added to the name to separate it from the Panzer IV-based assault guns. All previous and following models were thereafter known as Sturmgeschütz III.

Beginning with the StuG III Ausf. G, a 7.92 mm MG34 could be mounted on a shield on top of the superstructure for added anti-infantry protection from December 1942. Some of the F/8 models were retrofitted with a shield as well. Many of the later StuG III Ausf. G models were equipped with an additional coaxial 7.92 mm MG34. By the end of the war, around 11,300 StuG IIIs and StuH 42s had been built.

StuG III Ausf G (SdKfz 142/1) was produced between December 1942 and April 1945, around 8,423 were produced. The StuG III Ausf G is the final and by far the most common of the StuG series.

Notable features of this plastic kit include:

  • Choice of Early / Mid / Late production
  • Option to assemble vehicle as a StuH 42 with 105mm Howitzer
  • Choice of original trapezoid-shape mantlet or the Topfblende pot mantlet (often called Saukopf “Pig’s head”) gun mantlet with or without coaxial mount
  • Detachable Schürzen (side armour)
  • Optional rear stowage rack
  • Optional spare road wheels
  • Optional periscope

Miniatures are require assembly and are supplied unpainted.
