The detail set for the late StuG III Ausf. G in 1:35 scale from ELEFANT is a resin accessory. According to the name the contents are reckoned for four vehicles.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package is not a kit of the vehicle but a set of resin parts fitted to a model already built or in progress. The name states that the quantity of parts corresponds to four vehicles, which is the usual arrangement in this line: the modeler gets a stock of small features and uses them according to which particular production batch he is building.
The StuG III Ausf. G is the last and most numerously built version of the German assault gun on the Panzer III chassis. It was built from the end of 1942 until the end of the war and in that time went through a series of small production changes, which concerned mainly external detail: tool mountings, the shape of covers, the exhaust system and the fittings on the hull. The late production state differs from the early one in exactly these small things, and they are at the same time the most conspicuous distinguishing marks on a finished model.
Separate the parts from the casting block with a saw or a cutter, not with pliers. Wash the castings in warm water with detergent, otherwise mold release agent will stay on them and the paint will flake off. They glue with super glue, and the gel version helps on larger areas. Sand with protection for your airways. Before fitting the small parts, work out the order of the jobs, as a number of them go on more easily before the hull is painted, while others only after the base coat. Lay down a primer before painting, as resin is smooth and paint holds badly on it without one.
This is an accessory, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Check that it matches your own kit.
