Product Description
──A completed model that reproduces the powerful assault howitzer with a 10.5cm gun
[About the actual car]
- The Sturmgeschütz III was a German assault gun developed during World War II that was built using the chassis of a Panzer III tank and fitted with a 75mm gun in a fixed low-profile fighting compartment.
- Developed to provide fire support for infantry, it was used in attacks on enemy positions.
- Later, it was not only used for position attacks, but also for anti-tank combat, where it proved effective in protecting infantry from enemy tanks.
- One of the many types of StuG IIIs that were made was the 10.5cm assault howitzer, which was equipped with a 10.5cm howitzer as its main gun.
- Prototypes were built based on the E chassis, and then mass production began by Alquette using the F/8 chassis.
- In February 1943, the mass-produced StuG III was replaced by the Ausf. G, so the Type 42 10.5cm StuG was also produced on the Ausf. G chassis.
- After its debut in the Battle of Leningrad, the tank was well received by infantrymen and around 200 were produced by the end of the war.
[About the model]
- The model is a 1/72 scale reproduction of the German World War II 10.5cm assault howitzer, which was used to support infantry.
- This is a pre-painted, assembled, plastic model of the G-type, which was produced from 1943 onwards.
- The low, sharp style of the underside of the vehicle, fighting compartment, engine deck, etc., and the powerful barrel of the thick 10.5cm gun are reproduced in minute detail.
- The model faithfully recreates details such as the hatches, hinges, and bolts on the top of the upper fighting compartment of the vehicle.
- In addition, detailed depictions of the air intake grille on the engine deck, the tread patterns on the left and right fenders, as well as the on-board tools and details at the rear of the vehicle, enhance realism.
- This model is based on a vehicle painted in camouflage that includes the spotted pattern seen at the end of the war, and also features weathering.
- The completed model comes in a clear case, making it easy to collect.
- It would be fun to create a diorama by making a scene base.
