The Dragon 6905 kit features the STURMGESCHUTZ III Ausf.D vehicle with a tropical air filter, in the popular 1/35 scale. The STUG III Ausf.D is a version of the well-known German assault gun that had a tremendous impact on the course of armored warfare during World War II. Vehicles equipped with the additional air filter were specifically designed for challenging desert climate conditions, making them closely associated with the African campaign and General Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps.

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) was one of the most important support vehicles of the German Wehrmacht, in service from 1940 until the end of World War II. The Ausf.D version (Sd.Kfz. 142) was produced between 1941–1942, introducing improved armor protection and an upgraded suspension system. The variants with tropical air filters were delivered to the North African front to protect the engine from sand and dust, which was vital during battles such as El Alamein and other engagements in North Africa.
