Recognizing the need for a heavier weapon, Sturmgeschutz units initiated an order in 1941 to mount the leFH18 gun on the StuG chassis. The first production vehicle, featuring the larger 105mm rounds, was delivered in March 1943 and earned the designation StuH42 (Sturmhaubitze).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding upon the success of Dragon’s earlier 1\/72 scale StuG III kit, modellers can now enjoy the addition of the StuH42 variant to the lineup. Based on the StuG III Ausf. G model, this release inherits the exceptional features and top-notch components of its predecessor, featuring a newly tooled 10.5cm gun. Utilising slide moulds for parts like the one-piece lower hull, and incorporating photo-etched items and clear plastic where appropriate, this self-propelled gun enhances the firepower of StuG detachments. For modellers, the StuH42 provides an excellent opportunity to augment their collections of WWII German vehicles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale is \u003cstrong\u003e1:72\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly tooled hull frontal armour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new slide-moulded and converted 10.5cm leFH18 gun for StuG.III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece gun can be elevated up and down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo types of cooling air intakes provided with and without air-intake grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust pipes with hollow ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-moulded periscope gun sight made from clear part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad wheels and sprockets moulded in great detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece tracks for ease of assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes photo-etched parts and decal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e D7284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
