TORRO tank 1/16 RC Sturmgeschütz III, design G, gray camouflage-BB Airsoft (metal belts)

Sturmgeschütz III (also StuG III, Stug III, SdKfz 142) was a German assault cannon built on the chassis and tub of the Panzer III tank. It is the most significant modification of this tank and the most widespread type of German heavy armor in World War II, which was deployed throughout its duration. Versions A to E were armed with a 7.5 cm KwK 37 cannon (in version E there was also a machine gun MG 34) and were designed to support the attacking infantry.

However, as the fighting on the Eastern Front showed the need for a weapon that could face the avalanches of heavily armored Soviet tanks, a new generation of these assault guns was rapidly developed, which could serve as an effective means in tank combat. These were machines Stug III F (cannon 7.5 cm StuK 40 L / 43) and Stug III G (cannon 7.5 cm StuK 40 L / 48), which in addition to the main weapon had two machine guns. The machines of this new generation were sometimes referred to as StuG 40. [source ?!] In addition, a self-propelled howitzer StuH 42 (main weapon 10.5 cm StuH 42 L / 28) was produced. In total, almost 11,000 StuG III and StuH 42 machines were produced during World War II.

After the war, the loot machines were also used in the Czechoslovak Army under the designation ShPTK 40 / 75N. In Syria, StuG IIIs remained in service until the Six Day War (1967), possibly later.

StuG III Ausf. G (Sd.Kfz 142/1; 1942–45, produced 7,893 pcs)
The latest version of the StuG machine series. The G StuG series used a Panzer III Ausf tank hull. M and after 1944 the second defensive machine gun. Later versions were given a shield against Saukopf missiles (German pig's head), which was more effective than the original. Additional armor has been added to the sides of the G version.

Controls and functions

The powerful tank model has 2.4 GHz RC control. The tank is equipped with IR and BB Airsoft battle system, so battles between models are possible. Torque-optimized engines give the Sturmgeschütz III a precise and smooth ride. Thanks to the proportional control, you can approach the tank very slowly and gradually increase your speed. Sturmgeschütz III moves forward and backward, including turning. It can also be turned left or right on the spot. You can raise and lower the cannon. The realistic experience is completed by engine sounds and smoke from the exhaust.

The duels are provided by the Airsoft Combat System, which shoots BB bullets. The tank can be switched to an IR system that is compatible with Tamiya models. The tank turret is rotatable to the sides by 320 ° (160 ° on each side), the controllable inclination of the cannon (up / down) guarantees accuracy when firing. A red indicator on the tower indicates a successful hit from the tank. The force of the firing cannon is demonstrated by the recoil, when the tank jerks after the shot, and the same in the IR version. He also shoots with an anti-infantry machine gun, which is simulated by sound and lighting. An LED headlight is attached to the front of the tank.
