The Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. B was a low-profile assault gun developed on the Panzer III chassis, fitted with a 75mm L24 short-barrel gun in a fixed superstructure rather than a turret. Its compact silhouette and role as direct fire support make it an attractive subject for scale modelers and history-minded hobbyists.
As the first mass-produced StuG variant, the Ausf. B entered production in June 1940 with more than 250 units completed. It saw action in the Balkans and during Operation Barbarossa, valued for straightforward construction and dependable fire support on the Eastern Front.
This 1/48 Tamiya kit offers fine pre-molded detail that simplifies assembly for experienced builders and competent beginners.
