About this deal

It all comes together with a bit of fiddling and clamping. You will never see the exhaust ring unless you have the cowlings off, but they're there, anyway here they are, the pushrods still need a bit of fiddling so they line up Its versatility and reliability made it a valuable asset to the German military, and it remained in production until the end of the war. 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.

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 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.Anyway, thats where things are at the moment, sorry for waffling on. Now working on a bottle of Adelaide Hills Sauv. Blanc with the wife The StuG III Ausf.G Late Production had a length of 6.62 meters, a width of 2.95 meters, and a height of 2.16 meters. 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. 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. 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.

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. It's excellent armour and powerful gun made it highly effective at destroying enemy tanks, and its low profile made it difficult for enemy tanks to target. I thought the holes in the floor would be easy to fill with some evergreen strip, unfortunately I had none the proper size so just laid some thin strip over the top of them. I used my cutter to ensure they were all cut to the same length.

Note that the quote "Commonwealth Flight (Com Flt) 77 Squadron" is in error and should read "Communications Flight (Com Flt) 77 Squadron".

Once the floor is painted they will hardly be noticed, thats the plan anyway. Looking at this pic of the Dak kept at the South Australian Aviation museum, you can see the kit interior bears little resemblance to an actual RAAF interior anyway, there are no ribs along the floor as depicted on the kit floorIn 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 . Here, the ejector pin marks are filled with Mr Dissolving Putty. They will be sanded smooth when dry

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.

The level of detail, combined with the size to show it off got the ‘juices’ going, it was going to happen. The StuG III Ausf.G Late Production was used extensively on both the Eastern and Western Fronts of the war.
