It was built on a simplified Panzer III chassis with clean and interchangeable parts which made it easy to fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing the turret with a fixed casemate, it mounted a powerful 7.5cm StuK 40 L\/48 gun which could destroy almost any Allied tank except the IS Soviet tank and the Jumbo Sherman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its low-profile, firepower, low cost and standardised production, StuG III transitioned from an infantry support vehicle to a formidable tank hunter across various theatres of war, including North Africa, Europe, and Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ausf. G was the final and main variant, with over 8,400 units produced from December 1942 to April 1945. It was considered by many as the No. 1 tank destroyer in military history, with over 30,000 claimed victories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-35\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-45\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-53\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"ng-tns-c115-73\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding Difficulty 7\/10 - A detailed build with moderate complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale 1:33\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Panzer crew mid-figure included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed interior structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen up to view design: easy to dismantle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional suspension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAssembly Time:\u003cspan\u003e Approx\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e. 2 hours for players with average \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLEGO® experience\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003ePiece Count: 660 high quality \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLEGO®-compatible bricks + extra spare pieces\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003eBuild Army bricks are compatible with \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLEGO® bricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures: Includes Balkenkreuz decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003eModel Dimensions: 166 mm long, 90 mm wide and 66 mm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003eInstructions: Instruction booklet included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"168\"\u003ePackage: Boxed (Gift version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ng-tns-c115-73\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-tns-c115-73\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e660 x Grey Blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanzer Army Tank Operator Figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hobbies Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45728647774399,"sku":"BA0142","price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0355\/2919\/5651\/files\/BA142_Stug_III_Ausf_G_Model_and_Box.png?v=1781512368","url":"https:\/\/smallforge.com.au\/products\/ba0142-stug-german-tank-scale-1-33","provider":"Small Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
