Description
The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany’s most-produced fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle during World War II, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly 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 support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer.
Made of steel, this Main Instrument Driver Panel is in EXCELLENT relic condition! Though it does feature some pitting and marks, it is VERY SOLID with NO damage or major bends! The previous owner was attempted to repaint and restore it, but did not finish, so I will leave that to the winning bidder. Most of the missing instruments can be found online quite easily, so it would make for an EXCELLENT display once complete! The rubber grommets are original to this panel and are not post-war additions. I have shown the location in the last photo. A PERFECT addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
