The Sturmgeschütz III, which had already been deployed, demonstrated superior combat power in defensive battles in the later stages of the war, and the increasing demand for assault guns from the front lines also boosted development. In addition, in 1943, the production factory for the Sturmgeschütz III was damaged by Allied air raids, and production stopped. Formal production of the Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) began as a replacement for the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III). The initial type mounted the fighting compartment of the Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G on the chassis of the Sturmgeschütz IV Ausf. H. Modifications were made to overcome gaps and steps due to the difference in chassis, as well as differences in the driver's compartment, and mass production began. Production started in December 1943 and approximately 1,100 units were made by April 1945. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003eThis model is a 1\/35 scale reproduction of the German Sturmgeschütz IV that played an active role in World War II. Not only is the low, sharp style realistic, but the details of each part are also realistically expressed. It is an assembly kit with a finished length of approximately 20 cm. This kit reproduces the state of the vehicle parts with Zimmerit coating to protect against magnetic mines. The pattern and details of the coating are faithfully reproduced. The lower part of the hull is reproduced using slide molds, as well as the details of the underside of the hull. Assembly-type Magic Tracks are used for the tracks to enhance the realism of the undercarriage. The fighting compartment, which is assembled on top of the hull, and the engine deck are also accurately modeled using slide molding. The engine hatch and cupola hatch can be assembled in either the open or closed position. In addition, machined aluminum metal parts are provided for the main gun barrel. 3D printed parts that accurately reproduce the shape of the muzzle brake are included. Furthermore, the additional armor plates on the sides of the hull, the Schurzen, are also accurately reproduced to give the model a sharp finish. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: DRAGON\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: DR6576UG\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Product Specifications: Plastic Model Kit\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/35\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4545782132069\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46569212969118,"sku":"4545782132069","price":97.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4545782132069.webp?v=1772215475","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4545782132069","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
