After a change in law in the Netherlands, we decided to sell our replica StuG III Ausf. G!
This amazing vehicle is based on an FV432 but looks very realistic.
Everything is a replica, so no armor, no real barrel, and no Maybach engine (too bad).
The engine is a K60 diesel engine—very reliable and a good runner; it always starts and drives great.
The gearbox is an Allison gearbox, and similarly, it runs great.
The tank has a history at an outdoor range where people could drive it. The previous owner, who owned it for many years, maintained it very well, so the tank is in perfect condition.
For safety reasons, there are two emergency switches: one for the driver and one for the commander, both of which can shut down the tank immediately. Additionally, for the driver, there are cameras installed in both the front and rear, providing an extra line of sight.
Regarding the mechanical side, extra fans have been installed, along with metal tubes for cooling fluid, instead of the weaker rubber or thin metal ones that often break. Many other improvements have been made to ensure the tank’s reliability.
A full list of work done to make it mechanical the best Replica around, the list of all costs is available for review.
Already alone ,over €50,000 has been invested to make this tank as mechanical reliable as possible—no more overheating or power problems, etc.
Currently, a simple tube is installed for show purposes due to Dutch law. The original “barrel” (which is a simple tube but made to look like the 7.5cm canon) has been cut into two pieces, also due to the law, but this barrel/tube is included.
The two original German camouflage nets are not included.
Taxes are not included in the price.

The StuG III Ausf. G (Sturmgeschütz III, Assault Gun III) was one of the most widely produced and successful tank destroyers of World War II. Initially conceived as an infantry support vehicle to provide mobile artillery fire, the StuG III evolved into a highly effective anti-tank weapon. Based on the Panzer III chassis, it was a turretless vehicle with a low profile, making it difficult to spot and hit on the battlefield.
The Ausf. G variant, introduced in December 1942, was the most produced and advanced version of the StuG III series. It featured a 75mm StuK 40 L/48 gun, which could effectively engage enemy armor at long ranges. Over time, improvements such as a thicker frontal armor plate, side skirts (Schürzen) for additional protection, and smoke dischargers were added.
Unlike traditional tanks, the StuG III was more of a specialized tank destroyer, relying on ambush tactics, where its lower silhouette allowed it to conceal itself effectively in defensive positions. The vehicle was operated by a crew of four, and due to its relatively low cost compared to other German tanks, it was produced in large numbers to bolster the Wehrmacht’s dwindling resources during the later years of the war.
The StuG III Ausf. G played a key role in both defensive and offensive operations across all fronts, from the Eastern Front to Western Europe, and it became highly respected by both German forces and their enemies. By the end of the war, over 10,000 StuG III units had been built, making it one of the most important armored fighting vehicles of the German army.
