StuG III Ausf F8 Late Production 1/35 Takom

The Ausf F model of the StuG III came with the much-needed higher velocity 75mm Stu. K 40 L/43 gun that was capable of stopping the new Russian tanks like the T34/85 and the KV-1. It saw the shift in the tactical use of the StuG from an infantry support assault gun platform to a dedicated tank destroyer. The way to tell the difference between an Ausf F and G is that the Ausf F does not have a large raised Commander's circular cupola. Later versions received an even better gun 75mm Stu. K 40 L/48. This kit has extensions to the tracks called "Winterketten" that can be added to the tracks. There is also an extra track to add to the rear deck if you like. Again we have that helpful template to bend the etch guards and the option for a self-defense MG or not.
