About the StuG III:
Based on the Panzer III chassis, the StuG III was initially developed as an infantry support vehicle but was later upgraded into an effective anti-tank weapon. Deployed on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, it was used by German and Axis forces from the invasion of France to the defense of Berlin. With its low profile, thick frontal armor, and powerful 75mm gun, the StuG III was responsible for knocking out thousands of enemy tanks, making it a cost-effective alternative to heavier German armor like the Panther and Tiger.

This Italeri 1/56 scale kit faithfully recreates the StuG III with accurate detailing, making it an excellent choice for historical modelers and tabletop wargamers. Designed for compatibility with Bolt Action and other 28mm wargames, this model allows players to field one of Germany’s most iconic tank destroyers on the battlefield.
A great addition for WWII history enthusiasts, wargamers, and modelers looking to build an essential piece of German armored warfare!
