The Sturmgeschütz (StuG) III was a robustly armored and well-armed vehicle built on the reliable Pz.Kpfw III chassis. Initially operated by artillery units as a mobile howitzer, it underwent numerous variants throughout WWII and remained one of the few German armored fighting vehicles to serve on all fronts throughout the war.
Known for its formidable frontal armor and low profile, the StuG III was adept at ambush tactics, minimizing its exposure to enemy fire. It was equipped with a highly effective 75mm gun and featured an MG42 for close defense.
Infantry units valued the StuG's support during assaults, using its HE shells to aid their advances or to disable enemy tanks. By war's end, StuG units had amassed more kills than any other German vehicle.
his highly detailed plastic kit can be built as either the StuG III Ausf G assault gun or as the 10.5cm Sturmhaubitze infantry support gun.
