Hippo Team Stug III F

The Zod

Active member
This is a photo shoot of what is inside this box. A StuG III Ausf F,from the Anime show,Girls und Panzer. It is boxed under Platz,out of Japan. These kits are not cheap. From what Hobby Link Japan has said on their website,these kits are very popular in Japan. They could not keep these kits in stock. Personally,I feel Platz would have been smarter to make a decal,and color sheet for the existing kits of the various teams.

I found this one on Ebay. It was a seller in Michigan. He only charged $75. Sellers from Japan were charging roughly twice that. :S
I can tell this kit is a rebox version of the original version of the Dragon StuG series. It is basically the DML Orange series,under a Platz name. Onto the contents.

A mixed decal sheet,and paper sheet. The paper sheet has the flags. There are three different versions you can make. Two in Panzer gray,and one in red,dark yellow,and white. The multi color one is the one that used the flags.

The tracks are the DS kind. There are the late 40 cm tracks. I am not 100% sure that is what this StuG has in the show. I will have to watch it again,and let you all know.

Had to look this up on YouTube.....

Interesting shows those japanese are coming up with! Hot school girls in tanks!

They could have a spin off show when they go to college and fly WWII fighters!

Looks like an interesting kit though, going to make it up as the box art Zod?

I will probably go with one of the simple gray schemes. I am not 100% sure yet however.
