Dragon Armor Tanks > WWII 1/72 Armor

Armor 1/72 - StuH.42 Features: - Open window display packaging - Highly popular and collectible item - True to 1/72 scale - Fully accurate mold - Fully assembled - Includes protective display case Though it had initially been conceived as an infantry support vehicle, the StuG III evolved into a hugely successful tank destroyer when armed with a 7.5cm StuK antitank gun. However, Sturmgeschütz units were quick to recognize the need of a heavier weapon. Thus, an order was placed in 1941 for the leFH18 gun to be mounted on the StuG chassis, with delivery of the first production vehicle occurring in March 1943. This new vehicle was known as the StuH42 (Sturmhaubitze). The key difference was the new gun, altered gun mount and rearranged internal layout for the larger 105mm rounds. Dragon Armor has issued a fine 1/72 scale model of such armored vehicle from an identified unit seeing combat in Germany 1945. This model portrays a StuH.42 in a 3-tone camouflage painting scheme. The balkenkreuze is emblazoned on the superstructure sides. Dry-brushing has been applied to the many edges of the multi-faceted armor upper hull. Weathering has also been carefully applied to such components as the road wheels and tracks have been effectively highlighted. StuH.42 offered heavier firepower to StuG detachments, while this Dragon Armor StuH.42 offers collectors the ideal vehicle to reinforce their collections of WWII German armored vehicles.
