Modelling the Sturmgeschutz III

Description

The Sturmgeschutz 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.

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.

"This book was one of the most enjoyable and informative I have experienced in quite a while. I literally found myself unable to put it down once I started perusing its pages. It seemed as if each chapter offered up something different and most certainly of value to armor modelers regardless of your area of interest. Not only can I highly recommend this book, I consider it essential reading for any AFV enthusiast." --Mike Kirchoff, Armorama (September 2006) "In line with others in this series, the photo coverage of the builds is top notch. There are lots of 'how to' images that show what is needed to get the desired results... Another superb title in this growing series and a book I know you will not only enjoy, but will also learn stuff. What a deal!" --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
