About product

Superstructure roof for the early-production StuG III Ausf. G, 1:35 scale

This is an accessory part, not a vehicle model. It replaces the roof of the fighting superstructure with a part matching the early form of the G version. On an assault gun the roof is the surface you look down onto and the one that carries most of the external equipment: hatches, vision blocks, the ventilator and, on later batches, further changes. That is exactly why the production batches differ most there, and exactly why getting it wrong shows most. Against plastic, a resin casting has a sharper rendering of the welds, hatches and rivets, and above all it matches a particular production period.

The real subject

The StuG III was a German tracked machine without a rotating turret, with the gun mounted in the front wall of a low superstructure. It was originally meant to support the infantry, but with a long barrel it became one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of the war, not least because it was cheaper to produce and quicker to build than a tank. The G version was the most widespread and was built for a long time, so early and late vehicles differ in many particulars.

Usage tips

  • First wash the part in lukewarm water with detergent; that removes the mold release residue.
  • Cut away the original plastic roof as the instructions describe and true the surfaces.
  • Try the fit dry, and only then glue it.
  • Bond with super glue and apply a primer before painting.
  • Paint the hatches separately and decide whether to fit them open or closed.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers of German vehicles who are building a particular production batch and want the details to match it. The work calls for cutting into the plastic part, so a sure hand with knife and saw is useful.

It is not a vehicle model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The G version was built for a long time and the superstructure roof is among the places where early and late vehicles differ most. Getting it wrong shows on the model at once.

It is not. It is an accessory part for a kit you already own.

Yes. The original roof has to be cut away and the surfaces trued before the resin part can be fitted.
