This pre-assembled and pre-painted model showcases a Mid-Production StuG IV from a unit serving in Italy in 1944. It features a realistic sand camouflage with green stripes and the correct Saukopfblende mantlet and a full set of side armor skirts. The StuG III was a highly successful vehicle for Germany, but when the Alkett factory was heavily bombed by Allied aircraft, production of the StuG III ground to a halt. The expedient solution was to place a StuG III superstructure, with associated 7.5cm StuK40 L/48 gun, onto a Panzer IV hull and chassis. This trial vehicle was ordered into full production on 6 December 1943.
The StuG IV was a German assault gun used in WWII. The StuG IV was a StuG III superstructure mounted on a Panzer IV chassis and was armed with a 75mm Pak 39 L/48 as the main canon. The StuG IV was produced because of the shortage of 75 Pak 42 L/70 for the Jagdpanzer IV and because the main factory that produced StuG IIIs was bombed. The StuG IV's production began in late 1943 and served with great success alongside the StuG III. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Dragon's 1:72 scale StuG IV is constructed almost entirely from plastic, which allows for the greatest possible detail. This model is finely crafted, with two periscopes rising from the gunner's sight and from a small fixed-open top hatch on the commander's hatch. There is a separately-applied 7.62mm machine gun above the loader's hatch, and separately-attached spare track and road wheels. The sides of the hull feature battlefield equipment and tools, and there is an elevating 75mm cannon with a delicate muzzle break. Maintenance hatches, leaf-spring suspension and rivets can be clearly seen on the underside.
