1/16 Scale German Stug III (F8) Professional Edition by Heng Long - RTR - HLG3868-002
The Sturmgeschütz III (Stug III) assault gun was Germany's most popular fully tracked armored fighting vehicle during World War II. It utilized a modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire infantry support, the Stug III was continually modified, and like later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer. The F8 variant featured an improved and more heavily-armored hull compared with earlier versions.
Heng Long has produced RC tanks more than 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks.
