Sturmgestchutz III Ausf G Tank 1:48th Scale

Product Description

The Tamiya 1/48 German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G Saukopf is a plastic model kit in the Tamiya 1/48 Military Plastic Model Kits. This plastic kit requires paint & glue to complete. The most numerous version of the Stu G III, over 7800 type G guns were produced between December 1942 & April 1945. The early G-type had a welded-type gun mantlet, while an 80mm thick cast Saukopf gun mantlet was added in February 1944. The superstructure was redesigned & an MG42 machine gun with shield, commanders vision cupola & smoke dischargers were also added. Armed with a more powerful, long barreled 75mm L/48 gun, the Ausf.G was assigned the role of a tank destroyer rather than that of an assault gun. The Stu H type-42 variant mounted a 105mm howitzer on the Stug G III Ausf.G chassis & was developed to fulfill the Stu G IIIs original role of infantry support.
