Product Description

──NEO track increases the reality of the finish

[About the actual vehicle]
- In World War II, the German Army used the body of the Panzer III to mount a 75mm gun in a low fixed fighting compartment.
- Developed for the purpose of fire support for infantry, and useful for attacking enemy positions.
- Later on, it became effective not only for attacking positions, but also for anti-tank combat to protect infantry from enemy tanks.
- One of the various types of assault guns III is the 10.5cm assault howitzer, which is equipped with a 10.5cm howitzer as its main gun.
- A prototype vehicle was produced based on the E-type body, and then mass production began using the F/8 type body by Arquette.
- In the mass-produced model from February 1943, the Type III assault gun had moved to the Ḡ type, so the Type 42 10.5cm assault howitzer was also produced using the Ḡ type chassis.
- After making its first appearance in the Battle of Leningrad, its performance was highly praised by the infantry, and it is said that approximately 200 vehicles were produced by the end of the war.
