StuG III Ausf.G 1943 for Dragon

1:35 Eduard

The Dragon StuG III Ausf.G has been out for quite a few years now, but is still a very nice kit. Yet Eduard have only now released this single sheet set 36-281. This may go to show that the kit didnt have too many flaws or the fact that Eduard have covered every new kit that has been released and its now time to look at Dragons re-boxings.

Contained on one medium sized sheet are a plethora of small parts, the majority of which appear to be replacement clamps and fittings for the pioneer tools. The fire extinguisher receives a new holder, complete with straps and clasps, as does the jack and the shovel also gets a new blade. In addition to the replacement parts the set has new items that Dragon appears to have missed. These include new brackets for the frontal armour, rear storage bin, new surround for the wooden crate, complete with brackets, and straps, whilst the hatch on the rear decking is fitted with hasp/clasp and even a padlock. On the rear bulkhead of the crew compartment there is a new channel section plus brackets, and is attached with two wingnut bolts. Lastly, there are several grab handles for the machine gun shield and crew hatch.

Conclusion
Although this is a relatively small set, there is enough included to add that extra zing to what is already a very nice kit. Quite fiddly, but well worth it. Highly recommended
