StuG III Ausf C/D

¹⁄35

Wednesday, August 10, 2016 - 04:08 AM UTC

Hot on the wheels of Dragon StuG.III Ausf.E comes this even earlier short-barreled versions.

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG.III) has the distinction of being Germany’s most widely produced AFV of WWII, with 10,619 eventually manufactured. Based on the chassis of the Panzer III, it was cheaper and faster to build since it did not have a rotating turret. Only 50 of the Ausf.C were built in 1941. The StuG.III Ausf.D was identical to its predecessor except for installation of an intercom system. A total of 150 Ausf.Ds were built from May-September 1941.

This 1/35 scale kit comes with many new plastic parts, like a new fighting compartment and roof, new fenders, final-drive hatches and glacis, side pannier for the radio set and angled side sponsons. There is even a brand new light guard for vehicles specific to the StuG.Abt.177 unit.

Like the StuG.III Ausf.E (#6688), this new kit also contains a complete gun with its mount and fighting-compartment interior details.

There are also bonus DS uniforms.

I must say I do agree with ironmike. I hate individual tracks. I find them boring to build. Of course, they look great after it's all done, but hell don't I like building them.

Those skinny little DS panzer III/IV tracks look aweful,perhaps DS on the bigger cats,but I'm glad they put the MT'so in these. But gotta have those DS jackets

I thought that I saw something to that effect back when they announced their first "NEW for 2016" blurbs, back in January or February..? Yes, no, maybe..?
