Product Description

- Modeled after the Panzer III tank equipped with drums and wooden boxes that was used in DAK.

[About the actual vehicle]
- The Panzer III was deployed in 1937 and served as one of the German army's main battle tanks throughout World War II, with continued improvements.
- Among the many types that have appeared, the N type is based on the J, L, and M types and is equipped with a short barrel 7.5cm gun.

- In the end, the total number of cars produced reached 700 cars.
- The Panzer IV, which was originally scheduled to be equipped with this main gun, ended up being equipped with a long-barreled KwK40, and as a result it was equipped with a surplus 7.5cm KwK37L/24 gun.
- This was installed on the III-J type, L type, and M type.
- The N type, which was the final production type of the Panzer III that was born, was effective in anti-tank warfare as well as fire support.
