| Tamiya's newest addition to the 1/48 Scale Military Miniature series is the Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.B, well known for its distinctive short gun barrel and low silhouette. This compact model can hold its own against 1/35 scale models in terms of detail and quality, while the die-cast lower hull adds realistic weight. The Sturmgeschütz III, like other 1/48 MM series items, has a sharpness and presence not normally found in smaller size models. |
 About the Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.BGermany's versatile StuG III was originally designed as an assault weapon, however also came to be used as a weapon of defense as the war progressed, providing both assault gun and anti-tank support. Based on the durable Panzer III chassis, the StuG III featured a monoblock structure with an L24 75mm short barreled gun mounted directly on the hull, eliminating the revolving turret and reducing overall height. The StuG III's design allowed the installation of a larger main gun, and led to greatly reduced production costs, making the StuG III one of Germany's most important armored vehicles of WWII. The Ausf. B was the first truly mass produced StuG III with over 250 produced from June 1940. The Ausf. B saw action during the Balkans campaign in April 1941 and Operation Barbarossa in June, 1941, and was widely respected for the reliable direct fire support it provided, and for its ability to face formidable Soviet tanks. |
