The Sturmgeschuetz (storm or assault gun) was developed in the 1936-39 period to provide armoured support for the infantry. This came about largely because the new tanks being produced were destined for the panzer (armoured) divisions. In a battlefield situation there was no guarantee that tanks from an armoured division would be available to support the infantry. Thus the idea of the assault gun regiment organic to an infantry division came about. The new assault gun developed was based on the Panzerkampfwagen III Designated Strumgeschuetze III, the assault gun had a low superstructure with its main armament mounted in the superstructure front and given limited travers. Pre-production vehicles were battle-tested in the invasion of France in May 1940, and then ordered into large scale production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDetailed plastic parts molded in military green and attached to sprues\u003cbr\u003eReady to assemble precision model kit\u003cbr\u003eIncludes one realistic figure\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed exterior\u003cbr\u003eLarge assault gun located on front of tank; other armory also included\u003cbr\u003eIncludes armour plates on each side of tank\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic rubber tracks\u003cbr\u003eWaterslide decals\u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed and informative pictorial instructions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaints needed: Matt Black, Gray, Flesh, Light Gray, Metallic Gray, Dark Yellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"This item is brand new from the factory.\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e $26.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model Kits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:35\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trainz SKU for this item is P11994045. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6px !important; color: #d3d3d3 !important; line-height: 8px !important;\"\u003eTrainz Product Id: 11994045\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44186948534394,"sku":"P11994045","price":21.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/4747\/files\/3674787.jpg?v=1786097276","url":"https:\/\/www.trainz.com\/products\/tamiya-35087-1-35-german-sturmgeschutz-iv-military-tank-model-kit","provider":"Trainz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
