A minifig scale version of this formidble German assault gun based on the Sturmgeschutze III design of World War II.Weilding a mighty 10.5cm howitzer, the StuH 42 was used primarly to support infantry assault against stubbornly dug-in defences on the Eastern Front, but also participated in the defense of Italy and the post-D-Day France and the low countries.
Highlights of this kit include six opening hatches for the commander, gunner (not included), engine compartment, and transmission access. This model is built mainly in new light gray elements, representative of mid-war color scheme used in the Russian and Italian fronts. This model has been intentionally simplified with the idea of keeping the kit price down. Additional features like fighting compartment, MG42 mount (as included in later models) and working suspension can be added (using your own parts) for greater detail. Ideas for customizations are included in the instruction manual.
