13531 1/35 German Panzer III Ausf. J "North Africa"
100% NEW TOOLING!
The Panzer III was a
medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany and used extensively in World War
II. It was intended to fight other armored fighting vehicles. However, as the
Germans faced the T-34, more powerful anti-tank guns were needed. Therefore, the Panzer III effectively swapped
roles with the Panzer IV and was used primarily for infantry support.
The kit can be built with standard Panzer III 'J'version or equipped 'J' version with 'spaced armor'.
Kit features:
- Semi connecting track
- MG34 machine gun
- 5cm KwK38 / L42 and 5cm KwK38/L60 gun (builder’s choice)

angle turn

- Crew hatches can be built open or closed
- Photo-etched parts, exhaust grill, safety pin for smoke
grenade, iron sight parts for tank commander cupola vision slit, and stowage bin
