Dragon’s popular and new generation StuG. III series already includes kits of the Ausf. A, C/D, E, F and G. The last release is Ausf. B is now here. Armed with a short-barreled 7.5cm StuK.37 gun of L/24 caliber, the 20.2-ton assault gun was widely used by Sturmartillerie batteries in campaigns such as the Balkans and the invasion of Russia. As expected, the new kit is based on previous release, but it also has new parts specifically created for this early variant of German assault gun. An example is the hatches on top of the fighting compartment superstructure, which are different to those on any other StuG. III variant. Also new for this release are optional spare-track brackets on the front of the right-hand fender, these being made from photo-etched metal parts. Also new are the photo-etched clasps for the front fenders. The Smart Kit contains a full fighting compartment interior. Dragon’s new generation of StuG. III is now fully present.
