Miniart 1/72 StuG III Ausf.G Last Alkett Prod. (72110)

Today you are going to learn more about Miniart 1/72 StuG III Ausf.G Last Alkett Prod. (72110). New release comes as yet another version of the famous German vehicle. It is still made in small scale and should take less shelf space. Moreover, some modelers might find it a bit more engaging due to nice design. I assembled one of the previous versions, so it will be interesting to see what is included here. Overall packaging is typical, and all frames come sealed in one plastic bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another version in the same scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


First two frames come with hull panels and some minor elements. Small scale makes some parts very small, so be sure to have sharp tweezers for these.


Lower hull section should be glued out of separate panels. Suspension arms are premolded, so you get the right alignment out of the box. Roadwheels look good, but be ready to paint rubber sections on each of them.


Rear section should be also glued out of several parts. There are also cutouts for PE meshes to be installed.


Careful look at side skirts shows that there are premolded tools and items. Those should be picked with pointed brush.


Superstructure is also divided into several panels, but whole assembly will be easy. Note that hatches are molded separately.


Clear frame is packed separately, molding quality looks great. There are no masks included in the kit, but it should be enough to use liquid masks on these parts.


Unpainted PE fret will be useful for more features on your model. Note that Miniart even placed Schurzen panels here.


Decals are printed in Cartograf, so printing quality looks great. All marking options can be seen on the photo below.


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


New tiny StuG should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is still a nice choice for all fans of this scale. You will get all necessary things in the box, and final result should be a good-looking project. Overall quality looks great, but keep in mind that some parts are very small, so it is better to have a good eyesight and steady hands.
