quote:

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) was an assault gun produced by Germany during World War II. It was the most-produced fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer.

Nice work. They should have prioritized manufacturing more StuG IIIs & the up-gunned Panzer IVs over the Tiger & Panther.

Somebody's going to catch a glimpse of your model room and accuse you of being a closet Nazi. Isn't this like the fourth or fifth straight German build?

Awesome stuff.

Man, I swear some of your work looks like you reached back into a WWII battlefield, snatched up a tank or artillery piece, tossed it in your magical miniaturizer in the basement and then put it on display!

Damned fine work as always!

Brother man, your obsession with German armor is healthy… and I dig it.
