E.T. Model E35-137 WWII German StuG.IV (Late Production) Basic (For DRAGON Smart Kit) 1/35

E.T. Model E35-137 WWII German StuG.IV (Late Production) Basic is a set of exceptionally high precision, designed specifically with the DRAGON Smart Kit in 1/35 scale in mind. This set of photo-etched parts is intended to detail the German Sturmgeschütz IV assault gun in its late production version, which was one of the cornerstones of German armored forces at the end of World War II. From 1943 to 1945, the StuG IV was actively used by the German army on all fronts – from the Eastern Front, through Italy, and up to the defense of the Reich within Germany itself.

The StuG IV itself was created as a combination of the proven StuK 40 L/48 cannon with the chassis of the Panzer IV tank, enabling the Germans to quickly make up for losses and provide infantry with effective fire support. Wehrmacht garrisons and infantry units widely utilized these vehicles primarily for fighting enemy tanks and neutralizing fortifications. The late version featured simplified hull components, additional side skirts (Schürzen), as well as practical field solutions.
