About the Actual Vehicle: The StuH 42 was constructed using the Panzer III chassis and featured a fixed superstructure housing the main gun. This design facilitated easier production and allowed for larger guns, resulting in around 10,000 units produced by the end of World War II across different types. The most widely produced type during the final phase was the G variant, with production starting in December 1942 and continuing until the war's end, including minor ongoing modifications. It was equipped with the 48-caliber 7.5 cm StuK40 assault gun. Approximately 8,000 units were manufactured, and they were deployed with tank units, especially during a tank shortage, serving on various fronts until the war concluded. The G variant showed distinct features based on its production period, with early models having a welded gun mantlet structure.
About the Model: This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that replicates the German Army's III Assault Gun from World War II, specifically focusing on the ultra-early production variant of the final G-type model. The low-profile fighting compartment with a long-barreled 7.5 cm gun is accurately crafted using slide molding techniques. The engine deck parts at the rear of the chassis are also recreated with slide-molded parts. Inside the fighting compartment, intricate details like the 7.5 cm main gun's breech, recoil guard, and recoil cylinder are replicated. Interior elements such as communication equipment and floor panels are modeled for a mechanical finish. The vehicle's lower part is made with integrated parts using slide molding, and the torsion bar suspension is accurately represented with separate components. The tracks use assembly-type magic tracks for a realistic and precise finish.
