Overview
The Tamiya 1/35 German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.B recreates the early-war assault gun that would become one of Germany's most-produced armored vehicles. The StuG III was designed for infantry support with its low-velocity 75mm gun mounted in a fixed casemate on the Panzer III chassis. The Ausf.B represented improvements over the initial production model.
This kit captures the distinctive low silhouette and early-war configuration of the StuG III before it evolved into a dedicated tank destroyer with the long-barreled gun.
