Description
Based on the obsolete Panzer III, theSd.Kfz 142/1 StuG III Ausf. G became the ultimate version of the Sturmgeschtz III family of German AFV's, with some 7,720 being produced from December 1942 until March 1945. The main improvement over previous variants was a new casemate superstructure made up of slanted 30mm side armor & 50mm frontal armor plates. This casemate featured a new commander's cupola fitted with 7 periscopes and an SE14Z scissors periscope.
