Tamiya 32540 - 1/48 Sturmgeschuetz III Early  [32540]

German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G Early Variation

Original Welded Gun Mantle

Of many attack firearms utilized by the Germans in WWII, the absolute most many have been the Sturmgeschutz III. On the basis of the durable Panzer III framework with an entirely brand new superstructure, the revolving turret was eliminated which means brief barreled 75mm L/24 gun was installed directly onto the hull, providing the StuG III a remarkably low vehicle profile. At first designed for close infantry fire assistance, it was utilized as self-propelled artillery against enemy strong points. But once the German forces encountered the Russian KV-I and T-34 tanks regarding Eastern front, the precise situation out of the blue changed. To undertake this Russian tank risk, the Germans was in fact forced to update their current weapons systems. The resulting StuG III Ausf.G, built from belated 1942 onwards, utilized an even more effective, long barreled 75mm L/48 weapon.
