Modelling the Sturmgeschutz III

Informationen zum Autor Gary Edmundson was born in Sunderland in 1956. At the age of ten he emigrated with his family to Canada. After living in Ontario and British Columbia, he settled in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, where he now works in the chemical industry. An interest in military aviation led to military model building for a hobby, and Gary is a regular contributor to military modelling magazines and an active member of the local Edmonton chapter of the IPMS. Klappentext The Sturmgeschütz III proved to be one of the more significant German AFVs of World War II. Originally designed in the late 1930s as a self-propelled infantry support gun, its role became more diverse throughout the war and it served as a tank hunter and in front-line Panzer companies; over 9,000 vehicles were built. This book details the construction of four progressively more complicated builds in 1/35 scale, and also includes a gallery covering several different variants of the StuG III. It also provides a comprehensive list of available aftermarket products and kits of all scales.
