Dragon produce a stug iii labelled as early production 1943 and is kit number 6620, the picture shows the vechicle which has a what looks like a pipe above the wheels and I wonder what it is or is for, does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

It is a spare torsion bar. That was a common way to carry one on a StuG.

BTW that kit depicts a StuG III F8, not an A. It is a really good kit.

I always figured it was some kind of tool for the crew, but I have no idea for sure.

Hi Wayne

Great, thanks for getting back to me I appriacate it, all adds to the interest, I did not know, as I said I thought it was a pipe, so quite incorrect, thanks.

Best regards

Hi Evan

See Wayne's answer, it is a spare torsion bar.

All the best
