DRA6365 - Dragon - 1/35 StuG.III Ausf.G Early w/Schurzen - WWHP113665

Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The StuG III Ausf.G entered production in December 1942 and became the most numerous German armoured fighting vehicle of the war, with more than 8,000 built by Alkett and MIAG. Based on the Panzer III chassis and armed with the long 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48, its low silhouette made it an effective tank destroyer as well as an infantry support gun. From spring 1943 early production vehicles were fitted with Schürzen, side skirt armour plates hung to defeat Soviet anti-tank rifles and shaped charge rounds.
