Tamiya 32540 - 1/48 Scale Sturmgeschuetz III Ausf.G Early Production Model Kit  [32540]

Tamiya 1/48 Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G Early Version - Scale study

The Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G Early Production represents a practical evolution in German armoured cars of WWII. Based on the Panzer III chassis, the StuG was initially a close support weapon that was upgraded in the field to tackle heavier enemy tanks. The Ausf.G outfitted with the 75mm L/48 gun became a reliable combat variant.

Realism and scale fidelity

Tamiya's 1/48 model reproduces the Ausf.G with careful attention to proportion and surface features. With an assembled length of 140mm, the kit presents a compact but convincing representation, including the square welded mantlet and accurate gun form. Early features like front bolt-on armor and fitted smoke dischargers are included to aid authentic finishing.

Build Complexity and Features

Intended for modellers focused on accuracy, the kit features a die-cast chassis that gives weight and sturdiness to the finished model. The assembly-style tracks are provided in straight sections to emulate a natural droop. Options are included for either the 75mm L/48 gun or the larger 105mm howitzer. A commander figure and two marking sets are supplied for varied historical interpretations.
