Why the StuG III Ausf. E Was Important

The StuG III Ausf. E marked a transition in battlefield roles, moving from close infantry support to credible anti-tank capability. Built until early 1942, this variant used the short 75mm StuK 37 L/24 and introduced refinements to production and combat use.

Scale Reproduction and Kit Features

Trumpeter 07258 offers a faithful 1:72 reproduction consisting of 82 plastic components. The package contains full-length vinyl tracks and a decal sheet printed for RLM 02 Gray monocolour markings, making historical paint schemes straightforward to apply.

Building and Displaying the Model

The small scale suits collectors who run compact displays or transportable collections. Assembly gives a clear insight into wartime vehicle construction, and the finished piece sits well with other 1:72 armour on a shelf or in a diorama.
