Welcome to the Warlord Bolt Action wargame StuG III build 
)
This was bought as a 3-piece set, called a "zug", which has 3 StuG kits in their separate bags, as well as a sprue of 6 German "Grenadiers" (late war infantry, apparently so named to boost morale). I will not be doing the soldiers for this GB, as I have other infantry models for the wargame I would prioritise higher, given my sparse spare time. (And they would not go into a diorama with the StuG itself, so strictly speaking would not fit the GB framework.)
This is a simple one, and as you can see below the entire kit comes in two sprue frames and with a sheet of decals.
The plastic is a bit more sturdy, since the model is meant to be handled for game purposes. Parts are without any flash as far as I can tell, and there are few mold lines on the smaller parts, such as the MG and front light. None visible on the larger, more complicated parts, which show great details and make this build one of the less time consuming ones. Whilst focused, I think this little model can be built OOB in about two hours and then take its place in the paint queue.
This does not mean the model is lacking in detail, as I feel the plastic molds are up to a high standard, with no injector pin marks in the wrong places, and lots of crisp detail, as you should be able to see if you download and zoom in on the pictures - I hope that works as intended!
