1:72 Sd.Kfz 142/1 Sturmgesch.III (véhicule d'assaut)

The Italeri Sd.Kfz 142/1 Sturmgeschütz III brings a classic German self-propelled gun into a compact 1:72 scale format, with 2 matching models in one Assembly kit and a finished length of 7.6 cm per vehicle. Built on the Pz.Kpfw. III chassis, this design combines the low casemate silhouette with the direct, purposeful look that made the Sturmgeschütz series a constant presence across Second World War battlefields. The kit uses 100% new moulds and a fast assembly layout, with 23 parts for each vehicle shaping the hull, track units and upper structure into a clean base for painting and finishing. Special wargame decals support historically styled markings, and the supplied references show camouflage and insignia options linked to Smolensk in late 1943, Normandy in summer 1944, and Italy in 1944. Assembly is required, with a stated build time of 600 minutes. Paints, glue and tools are required separately. On a gaming table, the pair works naturally as matched assault guns in the same force, while a display shelf or bunker diorama can use the 2 vehicles to show different markings and camouflage approaches. The compact scale also leaves room for terrain, infantry and fortifications around the finished models.
