Stug III Ausf G or StuH 42?
Ready for release is a new plastic vehicle that we've been asked for in droves – the StuG! Not only does this kit allow you to make the classic StuG III Ausf G, but it can also be built as the StuH 42 with its monstrous 10.5cm howitzer!
As with our other plastic vehicles, this highly detailed and historically accurate kit is supplied with a crew figure, and it also has optional schürzen spaced sideskirt armor.
The Sturmgeschütz (StuG III) was a well-armed and armored vehicle based on the tried and tested Pz.Kpfw III chassis. Manned by the artillery originally, as it was considered a mobile howitzer, it went through many variants during WWII, and indeed was one of the few German AFVs to serve throughout the war on all fronts.
The StuG III had good frontal armor, its low profile making it ideal for performing ambushes, presenting a poor target for return fire. It was armed with an efficient and powerful 75mm gun, and carried an MG42 for close defence.
The StuGs were welcomed by their infantry comrades, supporting their attacks with HE shells or knocking out enemy tanks to the extent that by the end of hostilities, they had amassed more kills than any other German vehicle.
