1/35 SD KFZ 234 MIT 7.5 CM L/48 - Dragon 6814

The Dragon Models 1/35 StuG.III Ausf.G — Initial Production Smart Kit (6755) is a highly detailed model of the opening production batch of Germany's most widely built armored fighting vehicle. The StuG.III Ausf.G was the definitive and by far the most produced version of the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun family, entering production in December 1942 and continuing until March 1945 with over 7,700 vehicles completed — more than any other German armored vehicle of the war.

The StuG III began its career as a pure infantry support weapon, but the growing anti-tank threat on the Eastern Front transformed it into primarily a tank destroyer. Armed with the long-barrelled 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48 and protected by a cast Saukopf ("pig's head") mantlet from mid-1943, the Ausf.G was a formidable opponent for Allied and Soviet armor at medium ranges. Its low profile, good armor protection, and reliability made it a favored weapon of German assault gun brigades on every front. The initial production Ausf.G is distinguished from later production vehicles by the welded gun mantlet (before the introduction of the cast Saukopf) and specific early-production cupola and hull details.

Key Features:

• 1/35 scale injection-molded Smart Kit
• Initial production-specific features including welded gun mantlet distinguishing it from later Saukopf-equipped variants
• Accurate early-pattern commander's cupola with periscope details
• Photo-etched brass parts for Schürzen mounts, engine grilles, and fine exterior detail
• Detailed interior with positionable hatches for showing crew access
• Magic Track individual link tracks for realistic detail
• Multiple Wehrmacht marking options for Eastern and Western Front service

Dragon's Smart Kit approach to the StuG III Ausf.G initial production delivers an accurate, detailed model that is also intuitive to assemble. The inclusion of positionable hatches allows builders to create a more dynamic, "lived-in" appearance without complex conversion work.

Ideal For:

• WWII German armor enthusiasts and StuG III variant collectors
• Eastern Front and Normandy diorama builders
• Intermediate to advanced scale modelers

The Dragon StuG.III Ausf.G Initial Production is the essential starting point for any modeler building Germany's most numerically significant armored fighting vehicle.
