Agree on price break when compared with their resin/metal figures but still way behind the competition. Plastic Soldier Company offers a pack of 5 (and can make 4 variants) for $29 USD and The War Store sells for $26. USD

StuG G Platoon (GBX83)

The StuG G assault gun was, by far, the most widely produced and used in the StuG series. Between 1942 and 1945, over 7,700 were produced. The StuG G used the hull of the Panzer III M with a low-profile superstructure. This made the assault gun incredibly difficult to spot, as it lay in ambush amongst dense terrain.

Later versions were fitted with the Saukopf, or pig's head, gun mantlet. This slightly increased the armored protection of the gun as it deflected in-coming shots.

A cupola was added for the StuG G, making it a key distinguishing feature from the previous StuG F/8. This addition increased the assault gun commander's visibility. Schürzen skirts were added for further protection from enemy hand-held anti-tank weapons, such as the bazooka or anti-tank rifles.
