Hi guys,
This has just been released - according to Dragon the release date was October 2012 so probably a bit early yet.
This StuG has Christmas Present written all over it [:P]

Has anyone seen one yet? I’m struggling to find one.
Cheers fellas,

[snWow] NICE any close ups of the zim?? some times i think the zim on some kits are WAY to weak and needs it cut in more. but i do like this one.

Looks nice eh Clay?
The link shows an interior, crisp waffle Zim, Schurzen, PE rack for the engine deck - I’m sold If the assembled shots of the actual built-up model look anything like the preview designs on the link.
Some crisp Magic Tracks would finish this off nicely!
C’mon Dragon get her released so I can get get her for Christmas! [G]

That Stug looks nice, willing to bet it’s parts come from the 10.5 Sturmhaubitze 42 Ausf G (zim kit) which I had build about a year ago. If so the zim was very sharp and the kit built up well.
In these same new releases, I’m waiting for the Type 95 “Ha-Go” Kit # 6767 [:P]
Definitely on my to get list…when the price is right.
Glad to see Dragon introducing some Japanese armor and hopefully some British and Italian.
That’s one that’s destined for my stash also Ben,I have yet to build a1/35 Stug,just the Tamiya 1/48.So I think this will be the one
Hey Tojo,
Definately one for the stash. I’ve built 4 Stugs - Dragons old Imperial ‘Wittman’ III A, Tamiyas EXCELLENT III B, Cyber Hobbys III F/G oddball thing (all i/35) and Tamiya’s 1/48 StuG III G Late - exactly the same as this one.
That was a good build - I had to add my own Zim which ain’t easy on a 1/48 plus it was my first (and only) attempt!
She turned out ok but the Zim - a nightmare! I used an RB barrel:
I can’t wait for this new kit!
One cannot have enough StuGs!

It’s one of my favorite StuG variations…it has virtually all of the final features combined into one month’s production before the zim was discontinued so you get to see it virtually at the apex of development. Ought to make for a nice Christmas present Ben!
It looks great Ben,the 1/48 I did was the early with the short gun
Any good stowage sets,a Stug is like a Sherman,it’s gotta have stowage
Hi guys,
Tojo - I’ve looked at the detailed CAD pictures and can see it comes with a PE ‘frame’ for mounting on the rear.
Some simple stowage like Jerry cans, spare wheels, tarps etc should do fine.

Do I need another stug ? Maybe[H]
Greg"Detailfreak"Rowley[Y]
Another Stug for detail freak? Of course!!!
I just put mine on pre-order with Dragon USA !!
Mine is due tomorrow from DragonUSA !!![:D]
Hi Anthony. Lucky boy.
If you can give us any sneak peaks at the contents, that would be an early Christmas gift. [;)]
Yes Erik,it has been a VERY good week for the stash.I plan to post some pics when I get a chance.Now if I only had more time to build them all.
I see that Sprue Brothers is selling theirs for $48 on sale. That was about the retail price I saw on Dragonmodels. I guess I’ll be waiting awhile.
Awww! [:(]
I want one too - I feel left out! [:(((]
If I only build one StuG this year this will be it!
Detailed Blogs please guys! Lots of photos!
