This comprehensive collection features German assault guns and tank destroyers including StuG III variants, Jagdpanther, Elefant/Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Brummbar, Wespe, Grille, and Marder III, American self-propelled artillery including M7 Priest, M12 GMC, and M109 Paladin, Soviet assault guns and tank destroyers including SU-152 and SU-85/100, plus British, Hungarian, Italian, and modern systems. These kits deliver exceptional detail with individual track links, realistic gun barrels, open fighting compartments, crew figures, and authentic markings.
German assault guns and tank destroyers receive comprehensive coverage with the StuG III family including Ausf.A early production, Ausf.C/D mid-production, and Ausf.G late production variants with and without Schürzen side skirts, representing Germany's most-produced armored fighting vehicle. Heavy tank destroyers include the Jagdpanther with its sloped armor and powerful 8.8cm gun in mid and late production versions, Elefant/Ferdinand mounting the massive 8.8cm gun in a heavily armored casemate, Jagdtiger with 12.8cm gun representing the heaviest tank destroyer ever built, and experimental vehicles including Sturer Emil with 12.8cm gun and Dicker Max with 10.5cm gun. Self-propelled artillery features the Brummbar assault gun with 15cm howitzer, Wespe mounting 10.5cm howitzer on Panzer II chassis, Grille with 15cm gun on Panzer 38(t) chassis, Marder III tank destroyer, and Sturmtiger with massive 38cm rocket mortar. Anti-aircraft vehicles include the Zwilling Flakpanzer and paper projects like the E-50 Flakpanzer.
Allied and Axis vehicles include American M7 Priest 105mm self-propelled howitzer in early production and Kangaroo APC conversion, M12 155mm gun motor carriage, M109A2 and M109A7 Paladin modern self-propelled howitzers, Soviet SU-152 heavy assault gun and SU-85M/100 tank destroyers, British FV-4005 mounting massive 183mm gun and FV107 Scimitar reconnaissance vehicle, Hungarian Zrinyi assault guns in 75mm and 105mm versions plus Nimrod anti-aircraft vehicle, Italian Semovente M40 da 75/18 and Semovente 90/53 tank destroyers, Finnish Landsverk L-62 Anti-II, French AMX-13 DCA twin 30mm anti-aircraft vehicle, and modern systems including German Panzerhaubitze 2000, Russian 2S19-M1 Msta-S, 9K79 Tochka and 9K714 Oka missile systems, and A-222 Bereg coastal defense gun.

Self-propelled guns represent the marriage of artillery firepower with armored mobility, enabling direct fire support, indirect artillery bombardment, and anti-tank capability from protected, mobile platforms. Germany pioneered assault gun development with the StuG III, originally designed to provide close infantry support but evolving into an effective tank destroyer that destroyed more enemy armor than any other German AFV. Tank destroyers like the Jagdpanther and Elefant mounted powerful guns in heavily armored casemates, sacrificing turret traverse for increased protection and firepower. Self-propelled artillery including the M7 Priest and modern M109 Paladin provide mobile fire support, while anti-aircraft vehicles defend against air attack. This collection documents the evolution from WWII through modern systems across multiple nations.
The StuG III assault gun family represents Germany's most successful armored fighting vehicle with over 10,000 produced, evolving from the early Ausf.A with short 7.5cm gun through the Ausf.G with long 7.5cm gun and additional armor protection. The low silhouette, heavy frontal armor, and powerful gun made StuGs effective tank destroyers despite lacking a rotating turret. Heavy tank destroyers including the Jagdpanther combined the Panther chassis with a powerful 8.8cm gun in a well-sloped casemate, the Elefant/Ferdinand mounted the same gun in the heaviest armor of any German AFV, and the Jagdtiger represented the ultimate expression of the concept with a 12.8cm gun capable of defeating any Allied tank. Self-propelled artillery vehicles mounted howitzers and guns for indirect fire support, with the Wespe, Grille, and Brummbar providing mobile firepower for German forces. Experimental vehicles like Sturer Emil and Dicker Max tested concepts that influenced later designs.
American self-propelled artillery centered on the M7 Priest mounting a 105mm howitzer on an M3/M4 chassis, providing mobile fire support throughout the war and serving in multiple armies postwar. The M12 mounted a 155mm gun for heavy bombardment, while modern M109 Paladin variants continue providing self-propelled artillery capability with advanced fire control and automation. Soviet assault guns including the SU-152 and SU-85/100 combined powerful guns with heavy armor on proven tank chassis, while British experiments like the FV-4005 mounted a massive 183mm gun. Hungarian Zrinyi assault guns, Italian Semovente tank destroyers, and Finnish Landsverk vehicles document Axis minor nations' self-propelled gun development. Modern systems including the German Panzerhaubitze 2000, Russian 2S19 Msta-S, and missile systems demonstrate contemporary self-propelled artillery evolution. All kits feature detailed engineering with realistic tracks, gun barrels, fighting compartments, and crew figures enabling accurate replicas of these important armored fighting vehicles.
