Tamiya 1/35 German Sturmgeschutz IV SdKfz.163 35087'Plastic model kit, assembly required. Glue, paint and finishing supplies not included. The Sturmgeschuetz (storm or assault gun) was developed in the 1936 39 period to provide armoured support for the infantry. This came about largely because the new tanks being produced were destined for the panzer (armoured) divisions. In a battlefield situation there was no guarantee that tanks from an armoured division would be available to support the infantry.

Plastic model kit, assembly required.  Glue, paint and finishing supplies not included.

The Sturmgeschuetz (storm or assault gun) was developed in the 1936-39 period to provide armoured support for the infantry. This came about largely because the new tanks being produced were destined for the panzer (armoured) divisions. In a battlefield situation there was no guarantee that tanks from an armoured division would be available to support the infantry. Thus the idea of the assault gun regiment organic to an infantry division came about. The new assault gun developed was based on the Panzerkampfwagen III Designated Strumgeschuetze III, the assault gun had a low superstructure with its main armament mounted in the superstructure front and given limited travers. Pre-production vehicles were battle-tested in the invasion of France in May 1940, and then ordered into large scale production.



  1. The original idea was for a vehicle able to give fire support for the infantry, but it was soon discovered that an anti-tank capability was even more important. Later models of the StuG III led to the StuG 40 in early 1942, a StuG III with either a 7.5cm Sturmkanone 40 L/43 or (later) a Sturmkanone 40 L/48. In 1943, production of the Pzkpfw III was phased out as being at the end of its development as a gun tank. Because of the great losses of tanks on the Russian front General Guderian suggested that StuG III vehicles be issued to tank divisions as they were cheaper, simpler and quicker to build than tanks. This would have created an even bigger increase in StuG III output which was already insufficient to meet demands. So it was decided in a conference with Hitler in November 1943 to use the chassis of the Panzerkampfwagen IV. The object was to use this new Strumgeschuetze IV for the panzer divisions. This would greatly simplify maintenance as the panzer divisions. This would greatly simplify maintenance as the panzer divisions were all equipped with the Panzer IV tank. A prototype was already in a month, using a superstructure from StuG III production output. As the Panzer IV chassis was 46cm longer, and 8cm lower than the StuG III it was necessary to weld in an extra forward deckplate, and superstructure side strips, to fill the gaps. On the left front of the superstructure an armoured box (with two periscopes and a hatch) was built forward to cover the driving position.

    Production started in December 1943, Krupp-Gruson of Magdeburg the builders. Total production was about 1000 vehicles. StuG Ivs equipped the third battalions of some tank regiments in place of tanks. Early models were on the Pzkpfw IV Ausf H chassis but most were on the Ausf J chassis. Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating was common, and some had ferro-concrete added on the superstructure front for added protection. Crew: 4, combat weight 23 tons, top speed 24mph (road), 15mph (cross country), ammunition: 63 rds (AP 39, AP 40, HE), armour : 85mm (max) 10mm (min). Other details as PzIV.

Love them
Color: Pink, Size: Small(6Pack)
Both of my dogs love chewing on this toy. In fact, I had to order a second one because they kept fighting over the first! It has definitely been a big hit with both of them. I have a Boston Terrier mix and Shitzu.

Cute but not for a strong chewer
Color: Pink, Size: Small(6Pack), Color: Pink, Size: Small(6Pack)
My puppy loves all of these toys, as those one of my older dogs. They are adorable and a good size for a small medium puppy. I recommend them, but they can chew some of the small pieces/nubs/ends so just be careful.

Perfect for Aggressive Chewers
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
I've been looking for toys my German Shepherd puppies can't tear apart or chew into little bits within minutes. These are tough enough to stand up to them and have the added benefit of helping their teeth with the little surface nubs. This is the second set I've purchased - not because the puppies destroyed them, but because they needed a set for inside as well as outside. I HIGHLY recommend these toys if your dog is a destruction machine!!

Durable, sensory texture
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
These are fantastic. They are durable and high quality. My dog loves the sensory texture and they satisfy his aggressive chewing. I've bought other high-end, popular brands and he chewed through it in less than two hours. I would definitely buy these again (if I even had to)!
