Aber 72A12 Osłony boczne do Sturmgeschutz III (późne) / Side skirts for Sturmgeschutz III (Late model) 1/72

The Aber 72A12 set is a high-quality photo-etched side skirt (Schürzen) set designed for late-production Sturmgeschütz III models in 1/72 scale. These components faithfully replicate the armor skirts used on German assault guns, which were meant to increase side protection against anti-tank projectiles in the last years of World War II. The main user of this solution was the Wehrmacht, and the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) itself was used extensively on all war fronts, especially from mid-1943 until the end of the conflict in 1945.

The side skirts offered by Aber are made from extremely thin and durable brass sheet using advanced photo-etching technology. As a result, the details are exceptionally realistic, maintaining authentic thickness and perforations that capture the character of the original Schürzen. This set is dedicated to modelers building replicas of late-war StuG III and Panzer III versions, especially the Ausf. G variants, where side skirts had become standard equipment. The product is intended as an upgrade for plastic scale models—particularly recommended for kits by companies such as Revell, Dragon, and Italeri.
