Takom 8009 StuH 42 & StuG III Ausf.G Early Production 2 in 1 1/35 – Plastic model kit

Takom 8009 StuH 42 & StuG III Ausf.G Early Production 2 in 1 in 1/35 scale is an advanced kit for enthusiasts of German WWII armored vehicles. The set transports the user to the reality of the European fronts of 1943-1945, allowing the construction of one of two versions of the German assault gun: the StuG III Ausf.G or the StuH 42 support howitzer. Both vehicles played a key role in Wehrmacht operations against the Red Army, forming the backbone of German armored forces in the final stages of the war.

The StuG III Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz. 142/1) and StuH 42 were widely used by Germany on all fronts of the conflict, from the Battle of Kursk, through battles on the Western Front, to the defense of Berlin. The early production versions were characterized by initial construction details, such as the lack of Zimmerit or simplified equipment, which the Takom model faithfully reproduces in every detail.
