King & Country WS047 StuG IV with Three Figures: The Assault Gun with Deliberate Gaps in Its Skirts

A Panzer IV family resemblance

The archived release identifies the StuG IV as an assault gun based on the Panzer IV chassis. Its fixed fighting compartment gives it a different appearance from a turreted Panzer IV.

The WS historical overview provides the broader wartime setting. The catalog keeps the vehicle designation precise instead of treating every low German tracked gun as the same type.

The figures are not all doing the same job

The release specifies a commander, an MG42 gunner and a kneeling Panzergrenadier. The title’s shorthand of three crew can conceal that variety.

The infantry figure connects the assault gun with the surrounding ground, while the two men on the vehicle keep attention on its upper surfaces.

Why this release belongs separately

WS047 records a specific StuG IV interpretation with its own camouflage, figure combination and deliberate weathered details. A careful reference lets collectors compare it with later assault-gun models without confusing different chassis or assuming the original side-skirt arrangement is incomplete.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived WS047 product record lists a release date of November 2003 and a retirement date of February 2005. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
