Vader’s Model Desk: StuG III Ausf. G

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.

True. But then I would not have so many options on models to build.

Thanks guys. I started to do it with side skirts. But I decided to leave them off because I wanted to be able to see the details of the undercarriage.

Good stuff as usual!
When is the Anniston show? Sometime in April?

Great job! I like it without the side skirt.
Thanks for sharing.

It’s this coming Saturday. I’ve got if marked on my calendar. I’m thinking of entering something in it, but I haven’t decided which build.

Nice early build Stug without the Saukopf mantlet and the concrete up armor sections. Although I like the side skirts the "shurtzen" but it's also always nice to see the running gear as well.
Working on to Tamiya's 1/35th scale M-26 Pershing in Marine markings from the Inchon invasion.

Cool. Post it up when you’re done. Is love to see it. I think I’ve got a Pershing in my stash. If not, I need to fix that.

When my son saw this he knew exactly what it was.
I just think it is cool...

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.

Actually no. This is my seventh model to finish on 2024. So far I’ve built 2 American tanks, 2 American aircraft, two German vehicles, and one German aircraft. Up next is a Japanese fighter.

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!
