Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B - Battle Damage (resin)

Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B ("Assault Infantry Gun 33B") - STL

This is a highly detailed 3D model of a battle damaged Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B ("Assault Infantry Gun 33B") modelled by 3D fortress, prepared and distributed under license by Digital Taxidermy

A new, fully enclosed, and heavily armored boxy casemate superstructure was built on the chassis of the Sturmgeschütz III. It mounted the improved sIG 33/1 infantry gun, offset to the right side, for which 30 rounds were carried. It could only traverse 3° left and right, elevate 25°, and depress 6°. A MG 34 machine-gun was fitted in a ball mount to the right of the main gun with 600 rounds. Its traverse limits were 15° left and 20° right, and it could elevate 20° and depress 10°.

Sources differ as to the development history. Chamberlain and Doyle say that Alkett was ordered in July 1941 to convert a dozen Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. E chassis and that these were finished in December 1941 and January 1942 - but not issued. On 20 September 1942, another dozen Sturmgeschutz IIIs were ordered to be converted, and the existing vehicles were rebuilt. Trojca and Jaugitz contend that all twenty-four were built by Alkett starting in September 1942 from repaired Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. B, C, D and E chassis.

This STL file is a multipart model, at 28mm scale it can be printed on a resin printer

Supports are required for this model.

The printed model measures approx.:

63mm x 110mm x 56mm @28mm scale

We have a handy calculator for resizing files for 3D printing over at scale-converters

It is designed for 28mm table top games set in WW2 such as:

Bolt Action, Chain of Command and Konflikt ’47.

Print in place parts may need some work to loosen them up after print. Once free, run them through full travel several times to wear them in.
