Originally designed as an infantry support vehicle, the StuG III underwent a transformation into a highly effective tank destroyer when equipped with a formidable 7.5cm StuK antitank gun. Recognizing the need for a heavier weapon, Sturmgeschu"tz units initiated an order in 1941 to mount the leFH18 gun on the StuG chassis. The first production vehicle, featuring the larger 105mm rounds, was delivered in March 1943 and earned the designation StuH42 (Sturmhaubitze).
Building upon the success of Dragon’s earlier 1/72 scale StuG III kit, modelers can now enjoy the addition of the StuH42 variant to the lineup. Based on the StuG III Ausf. G model, this release inherits the exceptional features and top-notch components of its predecessor, featuring a newly tooled 10.5cm gun. Utilising slide moulds for parts like the one-piece lower hull, and incorporating photo-etched items and clear plastic where appropriate, this self-propelled gun enhances the firepower of StuG detachments. For modelers, the StuH42 provides an excellent opportunity to augment their collections of WWII German vehicles.
