German PzKpfw III Ausf. N
Manufacture Product Number : TAM-35290 The rugged Panzerkampfwagen III was used in all theaters by the German army in World War II and was well-liked due to its reliability. However, the size limitations of the tank's chassis meant that armament upgrades were limited and its usefulness as a battle tank diminished as the Allies produced more advanced and powerful tanks. With this realization, the final variant of the PzKpfw III, the Ausf. N, was modified into an infantry support tank armed with the short-barreled 75mm gun from the PzKpfw IV, which was being upgraded with more powerful guns. Beginning from June 1942, 700 of these Ausf.N variants, also known as Sturmpanzer III, were made and were often assigned to independent Panzer Battalions to protect the heavier Tiger tanks. The 5mm Schurzen armor skirt modifications were added from the spring of 1943.Main features include high quality 1/35 scale assembly model kit of the Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. N, detailed short-barreled 75mm main gun with gun breech and parts for 2 types of mantlet, precision-made aluminum parts for main gun barrel, turret with accurately reproduced parts for smoke dischargers, 3 types of markings including North Africa, and tank crew figure that can be depicted with headphones or signal gun. An excellent piece to display with the previously released SdKfz 222, North African Campaign. |
