This product is not a kit. It is a finished model of the German assault gun Sturmgeschütz III in the Ausf. F version in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer Dragon, assembled and painted at the factory. It is supplied in a state ready for display, and the finish refers to a machine deployed on the Eastern Front in 1942 with the unit designated Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 191.
The Sturmgeschütz III was a tracked gun without a rotating turret, built on the chassis of the medium Panzer III tank. The weapon is housed in a fixed low superstructure: that lowers the silhouette of the vehicle, but it also limits the traverse, so the whole machine has to be turned onto a target. The Ausf. F version from 1942 meant a fundamental change of armament. The short 7.5 cm howitzer, intended for accompanying fire support, was replaced by a long gun of the same caliber with a substantially higher muzzle velocity. The machine thereby moved from the role of a support weapon to the role of an anti-tank weapon, and in this form the StuG III was produced in further versions until the end of the war.
Take the model by the hull, not by the barrel, the fenders or other thin parts, as on models in a small scale those are the most sensitive places. Dust is best removed with a soft brush or a blower for optics, not with a cloth, which catches on protrusions. A closed display case is best, because factory matte finishes get dirty quickly in dust. Anyone who wants to can fine-tune the weathering with a wash or pigments of their own, but any intervention in the factory finish is irreversible: try it first on an inconspicuous place on the chassis.
The model is supplied finished and painted; it is not a kit. A display case and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
