1/72 StuG.III Ausf.G Early Production, Pz.Gren.Div. 'Großdeutschland' Eastern Front 1943
Dragon Armor has issued a fine 1/72 scale model of an armored vehicle from the Großdeutschland Division fighting in 1943. The model portrays a StuG.III Ausf.G Early Production variant from the division’s Sturmgeschütz (Assault Gun) Battalion. This particular battalion was composed of an HQ and three batteries containing six StuG.III assault guns each. As is the norm for Dragon Armor items, the model is extremely accurate dimensionally, and even the smallest detail is fully represented. It is painted in a summer camouflage scheme of sand covered in wavy green lines. The balkenkreuze is clearly emblazoned on the superstructure sides, as well as the division’s famous “helmet” insignia. The finish is topped off by judicious dry-brushing, resulting in an extremely attractive and realistic-looking vehicle. This is a fine StuG.III Ausf.G model from the division that was nicknamed “die Feuerwehr” (The Fire Brigade), and it is sure to spark a lot of interest amongst collectors!
