The StuG III Ausf.G Late Production was a highly effective and versatile German assault gun that played a significant role in the German military's armoured warfare tactics during World War II. It was developed as an upgrade to the earlier StuG III models and featured several improvements in both armament and armour.

As soon as this kit was introduced, I had been desperate to get hold of one. The level of detail, combined with the size to show it off got the ‘juices’ going, it was going to happen. Note that the quote "Commonwealth Flight (Com Flt) 77 Squadron" is in error and should read "Communications Flight (Com Flt) 77 Squadron".

Trumpeter headquarters is located in Zhongshan, China and is a highly respected plastic model kit manufacturer. Trumpeter is renowned for producing a large range of highly detailed injection moulded military armoured vehicles, naval ships and a range of aircraft plastic model kits all in various scales from 1/16 right down to 1/700. These days with limited time for modelling and a large stash that I want to build, my philosophy is to just build. Correcting the interior would add many hours to the build for little return, plus I want to get this finished for a coming comp. DML made an excellent 'early StuG III ausf.G' kit first in the mid-2000s, but then started adding bits to make the 'mid' and 'late' versions, rather than make a proper late version from scratch. So they forgot to change some of the details as they went along, or got them wrong, or mixed up which factory, thus their mid-late kits are a right mishmash of features. Dragon's 6593 builds an Alkett vehicle only (Dragon don't tell you this), but 6593 itself is a problem for a 'Dec.44' build (as it says on the box) as the toothed toweyes were in force well before then at Alkett and this kit doesn't have them.

In this pic. one fuselage half has been painted as well as the floor. The subject of my build A65-121 was disposed of to the Indonesians and there are very few pics -(read no) pics of her that I could find . This design change allowed the German military to produce a large number of StuG III Ausf.G Late Production vehicles, despite the challenges they faced in the later stages of the war. In addition to its use as a tank destroyer, the StuG III Ausf.G Late Production was also used to provide fire support for infantry and to engage enemy fortifications. Next the interior. As this machine was used to ferry ordnance the seats were removed. Bewdy I thought, no fitting umpteen PE seat belts. unfortunately no seats means the location holes had to be filled on the floor and some ejector pin marks filled on the fuselage interior where they could be seen by peering through the door The Trumpeter factory does not only produce plastic model kits under the Trumpeter label, but they're also responsible (under license) for producing plastic kits for brands such as Hobby Boss, Mini Hobby, Fujimi Moke and Pit Road.

I'd probably be better just sanding all the detail off the floor!! Actually a couple of years this is probably what I would have done as well as building up all the stringer detail from strip.
