Miniart 1:35 - Stug. III 0-Series - Plastic Model Kit #35210
The German Sturmgeschütz III or StuG III assault gun was the country's 2nd most produced AFV of the WWII period (after the Sd Kfz 251). The StuG was designed to support the advancing infantry using direct fire. Early models were equipped with low-velocity 7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 guns which were able to blast fortifications but could not penetrate armour well. After the Germans encountered the Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks those were substituted with high-velocity 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/43 and later 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48.
Before the production began, five prototypes of the vehicle were produced in 1937 - the experimental '0' series. They used the chassis and running gear of the Panzer III and featured a mild-steel superstructure and Krupp’s 7.5cm StuK 37 L/24 cannon. These AFVs were tested at a number of training facilities and remained in use as training vehicles until 1942.

Using captured or foreign produced equipment was a standard practise of the German Army since before the war, and the T-70 was no exception. The German designation for the T-70 was " Pz. Kpfw.

Ex-soviet 7.62cm FK288(r) (ZIS-3) guns were used by the 2., 3., 4., and 6. Batteries of the 16. Luftwaffenfelddivision (air force field division).

Miniart 1:35 - German Field Gun FK39 (r) 7.62cm - Plastic model kit #35104
The German FK39 (r) was formerly a Russian piece, designed to replace the aging 76mm M1902/30 series and formally adopted by the Red Army in 1939. The initial production covered the bare requirements of the Red Army, but when the Operation Barbarossa started Soviet factories had to begin production in much greater numbers. Those Soviet guns that fell into German hands were turned against their former owner and were designated the 7.62cm FK39(r). The Germans modified the gun to use Pak 36 (r) ammunition.
Includes parts for one gun, four ammo boxes with shells, and photo etched parts.
