Kicking Up a Sturm
This rather rare WWII German AFV featured a fearsome 38cm rocket launcher mounted upon the proven Tiger I chassis, and was developed for use against heavily fortified enemy positions, against which it would fire 1.5m long, 350kg rocket-powered projectiles. In terms of survivability, too, the Sturmtiger's fighting compartment was well-equipped, with 15cm of frontal armor and 8cm on the sides. All told, a mere 18 examples were produced, between August and December 1944; they were deployed in occupied Poland, and even on German home soil as the conflict ground to its conclusion.

The menacing form with chunky fighting compartment and stubby 38cm mortar is artfully captured.

The 38cm mortar features internal rifling details, and has optional separate parts depicting counterweight.

Also depicted is the fighting compartment-mounted crane for loading the massive 38cm projectiles.

Realistic assembly type depictions of the wide tracks utilize one-piece straight sections.

Make this kit into a mini-diorama using the included figure depicting a soldier on his feet.
