## Description

Product Description The assault gun was developed in the period 1936-39 to provide armoured support to the infantry. This happened mainly because the new tanks that were produced were intended for the tank divisions (armored). In a battlefield situation, there was no guarantee that tanks would be available to an armored division to support the infantry. This is how the idea of the assault rifle regiment originated organically into an infantry division. The newly developed storm pistol was based on the Panzerkampfwagen III designated strut protection III, the assault rifle had a low construction with its main armament mounted in the upper front and equipped with limited travers. Pre-production vehicles were combat-tested in the invasion of France in May 1940 and then ordered into large-scale production. Requires colour and assembly. Directions Yes, the product comes with assembly instructions. Safety Warning Small parts, not suitable for children

Review: Great Set! - This Japaneese import version of Sturmgeshutz was one of the best Tamiya sets I’ve purchased so Far!The parts are clean and it is a quite easy set to put together with minimum amount of skill required.It has rubber tracks which is always a bonus,and one crew member is also included in this kit. Decent amount of detail for a realatively well priced kit.I can honestly Recommend that one👌🏼
Review: 1/35 tank model - Very good model and a very nice price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/35 tank model
*by D***H on 15 May 2025*

Very good model and a very nice price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great starter model at a reasonable price.
*by D***D on 5 February 2015*

great model at a great price. hadn't built any plastic models since i was a teenager (20 years ago!) and decided to get back into building models as a way to relax. Previously I'd built 1:72 fighter jets, so this was a little different, but i managed it easily - took about 4-5 hours in total. It's fairly simple to build, but i would suggest getting some tools to help your construction - hobby knife, sand paper etc and there's plenty of online tutorials regarding building models. So i'd rate this as a great starter model My next step is to get some paint and paint it....
