Campaign - Ardennes 1944

Markings - tan, brown and green camouflage with No. 132 in black and ambush pattern dots and cross on turret and rear fender. Two extra bogeys on rear hull.

Model - In 1942 a variant of the StuG III Ausf F was designed with a 105 mm (4.1 inch) howitzer instead of the 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/43 cannon. These new vehicles, designated StuH 42, were designed to provide infantry support with the increased number of StuG III Ausf F/8 and Ausf Gs being used in the anti-tank role. The StuH 42 mounted a variant of the 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer, modified to be electrically fired and fitted with a muzzle brake. Production models were built on StuG III Ausf G chassis. The muzzle brake was often omitted due to scarcity of resources in the later part of the war. Around 1,300 StuH 42 were produced by Alkett from March 1943 to 1945. The initial 12 vehicles were built on repaired StuG III Ausf F and F/8 from Autumn 1942 to January 1943. 

Condition - New with minor shelf wear on box. Original price label on bottom of cardboard box.
