¹⁄35

A new StuH from Dragon, based on their StuG kits but with new tooled parts. Available this June.

The StuH.42 (denoting Sturmhaubitze 42) was used to support armour and infantry with a larger-caliber gun offering greater destructive firepower. The first low-rate production examples were manufactured by Alkett in October 1942, using chassis of StuG.III Ausf.E/F vehicles fitted with a 10.5cm StuH.42 L/28 howitzer.

The latest offering from Dragon represents a 1/35 scale kit of an StuH.42 self-propelled howitzer based on a StuG.III Ausf.F chassis. This kit is based on Dragon’s StuG.III kits, but it incorporates completely new elements such as a retooled superstructure roof and fighting compartment. The front fenders are also brand new, and they are made from photo-etched metal to give maximum realism.
