Product Description
- A completed model of the first mass-produced Sturmgeschütz III, the Ausf. A.
[About the actual car]
- The first mass-produced type of Sturmgeschütz III developed by the German army during World War II was the Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.A.
- Development of the Sturmgeschütz III began in 1936 as a direct support vehicle for infantry.
- In order to meet requirements such as being equipped with a 7.5 cm gun and having a vehicle height that did not exceed a person's height, a fixed fighting compartment was added to the body of a Panzer III tank, and the Sturmgeschütz III was born, equipped with a short-barreled 7.5 cm gun.
- The first production model was the Ausf.A, 30 of which were produced between January and May 1940.
- Based on the body of the Panzer III F type tank, the armor on the front and other parts has been reinforced.
- It was fitted with a sealed fixed fighting compartment and a short-barreled 24-caliber 7.5 cm assault gun as its main gun.
[About the model]
- The model is a 1/72 scale reproduction of the German Sturmgeschütz III from World War II.
- This is a pre-painted, assembled, plastic model of the first mass-produced model, the A-type.
- The low, sharp style of the underside of the vehicle, fighting compartment, engine deck, etc. are reproduced in minute detail.
- This model faithfully reproduces the distinctive features of the A-type, such as the details of the hinges and bolts on the top of the upper fighting compartment of the vehicle, and the flap in front of the gunner.
- The short barreled style that is the basic style of the Sturmgeschütz III is still very much in keeping with the 1/72 scale model.
- Delicate 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.
- The kit features camouflage paint and weathering, and the markings recreate the German grey colour of the 1st SS Panzer Division in France in 1940, early in the war.
- The completed model comes in a clear case, making it easy to collect.
