Bolt Action: StuG III AUSF G
The Sturmgeschütz (StuG) III was a well-armed and armoured vehicle based on the tried and tested Pz.Kpfw III chassis. Manned by the artillery originally; as it was considered a mobile howitzer; it went through many variants during WWII; and indeed was one of the few German AFVs to serve throughout the war on all fronts.
The StuG III had good frontal armour; its low profile making it ideal for performing ambushes; presenting a poor target for return fire. It is armed with an efficient and powerful 75mm gun and carries an MG42 for close defence.
The StuGs were welcomed by their infantry comrades; supporting their attacks with HE shells or knocking out enemy tanks to the extent that by the end of hostilities; they had amassed more kills than any other German vehicle.
This highly detailed plastic kit can be built as either the StuG III?Ausf G assault gun or as the 10.5cm Sturmhaubitze infantry support gun.
