Miniart 1/35 STUG III Ausf.G (35341)

This review I will dedicate to Miniart 1/35 STUG III Ausf.G (35341). New version comes in the same scale, but this time without interior included. Such package might be more attractive for modelers who would like to focus on external features. I reviewed the previous releases, so it will be interesting to see what is featured here. Overall packaging is typical for the brand, and all parts come sealed in a plastic bag. Let's open it and check every sprue.

By the way, here you can read review with another Alkett vehicle.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.

First frame is dedicated to lower hull panels which should be combined together. Overall such design will be easy to build.

Next is the interconnection of small frames with mix of various things. Here you will find roadwheels, drive sprockets, side skirts and even torsion bars.

Superstructure should be built out of separate panels. Whole design has smart guiding system which will help you with alignment. Note also separate track links on the left.

Another interconnection of frames brings us main gun and some pioneer tools. One of the frames also features special armor supports.

Engine bay area has separately molded hatches, but they won't come handy on today's version as there is no engine to display.

Separate armor panels will be used for the frontal section as well. Overall quality looks great even on the smallest panels.

Main gun should be detailed inside as well. It might be useful in case you plan to open one of the hatches on top.

Thin parts will require plastic saw for careful separation. Otherwise you might end up with broken bits.

There towing cable loops included, but the cable itself should be supplied by yourself.

Kit features not one, but two unpainted PE frets. Smaller one will be useful for fine external features, while bigger fret brings large armor panels.

Clear frame is packed into a separate plastic bag. Overall molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included.

Cartograf decals look great and there is nothing extra to add. You can see all markings on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New kit should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great option for modelers who would like to build detailed vehicle and focus on external features. Overall quality is great straight out of the box, but this is something what I would recommend to experienced modelers. All those tiny parts and PE elements might take some time, so be sure you have the knowledge on how to deal with them.
