Product Description

- An easy-to-make tank kit that even beginners can enjoy.

[About the actual car]
- The Panzer III was deployed in 1937 and continued to be improved as one of the German main battle tanks throughout World War II.
- Among the many types that appeared, the N type was based on the J, L, and M types and was equipped with a short-barreled 7.5 cm gun.
- 663 cars were produced between June 1942 and August 1943, and 37 cars were converted to N-type based on cars that had been returned for repairs until 1944. xThe total number of cars produced was ultimately 700.
- The Panzer IV, which was originally intended to be equipped with this gun, was fitted with the long-barreled KwK40, and as a result, the surplus 7.5cm KwK37L/24 gun was installed on the Panzer III Ausf. J, Ausf. L, and Ausf. M.
- The final production model of the Panzer III, the Ausf. N, was designed to be effective in anti-tank combat as well as provide fire support.
- To make up for the shortage of Tiger tanks, they were also deployed to heavy tank battalions, and saw action on various fronts until the end of the war, including the Battle of Kursk, known as the largest tank battle in history on the Eastern Front.
