Product Description

A kit with body parts that reproduce the coating

[About the actual car]
The Sd.Kfz.167 Sturmgeschütz IV was an assault gun developed by Krupp starting in February 1943, using the chassis of the Panzer IV tank.
The already deployed StuG III demonstrated excellent combat capabilities in defensive battles in the latter stages of the war, and the growing demand for assault guns on the front lines also contributed to the development of the gun.
In addition, in 1943, the factory where the StuG III was produced was damaged in an Allied air raid, and production came to a halt.
Official production of the StuG IV was to begin as a replacement for the StuG III.
The initial type was a Panzer IV H type chassis equipped with a Stug III G type fighting compartment.
Mass production began after modifications were made to address gaps and differences in the vehicle body, as well as differences in the cockpit area.
Production began in December 1943, and approximately 1,100 vehicles were produced by April 1945.
