This 1:35 scale model represents the StuG IV Sd.Kfz.167 Early Production, one of the first variants of Germany’s famous assault gun developed during World War II for infantry support and tank destruction.
Based on the Panzer IV chassis, the StuG IV was equipped with the 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 gun, mounted in a low-profile armored superstructure for superior protection and stability. The Early version featured a welded frontal armor plate, standard road wheels, and lacked the side skirts (Schürzen) later added for defense.
The Academy kit includes finely engraved panel lines, a detailed gun barrel, realistic link-and-length tracks, optional open hatches, and separate accessories like tools, cables, and storage boxes.
High-quality decals provide markings for Heer and Waffen-SS units on the Eastern Front and Normandy (1944).
A highly detailed, authentic kit perfect for enthusiasts of German WWII armor.
