WWll TANK COLLECTION  - 56 PIECES - HIGHLY DETAILED KIT - DECALS FOR 2 VERSIONS - 2 alternative models: STURMGESCHUTZ III or STURMHAUBITZE 105

Born to offer fire support to the German infantry, according to the tactical concepts of the Blitzkrieg, the SturmGeschütz III was developed during the war in new and more advanced versions with a different mission profile. On the Eastern Front, the encounter with the most powerful and innovative Soviet tanks led to an expansion of its role, moving from support to infantry squads to the role of an effective anti-tank armored vehicle. Simple and economical in construction, it was one of the vehicles produced in greatest numbers by German industries until the end of the war. With the advent of the “G” version, specialized in the anti-tank role, the version armed with a 105 mm howitzer (Sturmhaubitze 42) was also introduced.
