Italeri 0223 Sd. Kfz. 167 SturmGeschutz IV 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit intended for advanced modelers and World War II history enthusiasts. The German Sturmgeschütz IV (Stug IV) was a self-propelled assault gun developed by mounting the powerful 75 mm L/48 Stuk 40 cannon on the chassis of the Panzer IV medium tank. This model is depicted in the popular 1/35 scale, allowing for faithful reproduction of the details of the version used on the battlefields in the years 1944-1945.

The Sturmgeschütz IV was introduced into the German army (Wehrmacht) arsenal in the first months of 1944, complementing the older Stug III, whose production had been reduced due to Allied bombings of German arms industry. This vehicle was renowned for its low profile, which made it much harder to detect by the enemy and increased its effectiveness in both defensive actions and impromptu counterattacks. The Stug IV was used on all fronts of World War II, especially in the role of infantry support and in anti-tank units, where it successfully destroyed Allied tanks and fortifications.
