Initially designed as a support weapon, the StuG III interestingly turned out
to be the most widely produced German armored fighting vehicle of WWII! Cheaper
than the Panzer III tank it was based upon, a total of 10,619 StuG IIIs of all
types were eventually produced. The StuG III had accounted for an impressive
20,000 destroyed enemy tanks by the spring of 1944 alone. The most common variant
was the Ausf. G, which also happens to be the subject of a new release from
Dragon Armor. Item no. 60312 represents an Early Production Ausf. G of the “Totenkopf”
(the name translates as “death’s head” or “skull”) Panzer Division.
The model is expertly assembled, and is replete with the type of amazing detail
found on Dragon’s acclaimed plastic kits. This fully finished model is painted
in a most dramatic winter-whitewash scheme, which only adds to its impact. The
upper hull still wears a reasonably fresh coat of white paint, while the lower
hull shows traces of its original sand-yellow base coat. This vehicle is a real
combat veteran, as evidenced by the “kill marks” on each side of the superstructure.
Manned by an experienced crew, this StuG III has accounted for more than its
fair share of enemy tanks. This new miniature vehicle is filled with character
- and color – and would be an asset in any collection.
