Tamiya Masterwork Collection #21004*17000 German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. G Early Version
1/35th Scale
Abbreviated the "StuG" III, the Sturmgeschutz, based on a Panzer III chassis, adopted a short barreled 7.5cm L/24 gun in place of the Panzer III's revolving turret. After confrontations with Soviet armor, the situation abruptly changed. To cope with this Russian tank threat, the Germans were forced to upgrade their existing weapons systems. The G-type StugG III built from late 1942 onwards, used a more powerful, long barrel 7.5cm L/48 gun. The thin steel plates, known as Schurzen (skirts), were attached to the sides of the hull beginning in the spring of 1943.
- A finished model which has been built and hand painted by skilled craftsmen.
- Metal tracks combine with Military Miniature Series quality for authenticity.
- Gun barrel has been reproduced with aluminum in order to obtain an even more striking feel of realism.
- Commander's and Loader's hatches can be attached in opened or closed position and Schurzen can be attached/detached.
- Painted in dark yellow base with a red-brown camouflage.
- Markings of the 237th Sturmgeschutz (assault gun) Brigade.
