1:35 Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G [early version]

Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.G (early version) 1:35 — an Aber photo-etched detail set

A photo-etched metal detail set in 1:35 scale from Aber for the plastic model of the German Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.G assault gun in its early form. It is not a vehicle kit but a set of fine photo-etched parts that refine the exterior. The set is meant for experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.G was the most widely built variant of the German assault gun based on the chassis of the Panzer III tank. The vehicle carried a 7.5 cm gun in a low fixed superstructure with no rotating turret and served both to support infantry and to destroy tanks. The early version differed from the later one in a number of exterior details.

Usage tips

Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp blade, bend them over a bending tool or a metal rule and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Degrease the metal parts before painting and lay down a primer for metal. Fit the detail step by step, before the final assembly of the superstructure.

Who the set is for

• Experienced modelers building the StuG III Ausf.G in 1:35 scale
• Anyone interested in superdetailing German assault guns
• Builders who want to replace coarser plastic with fine photo-etched metal
• Anyone who likes detailed dioramas of the Second World War

This is a photo-etched accessory for a model, not a standalone vehicle kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
