Product Detail

The Pz.Kpfw.III was a 20-ton class medium tank that was the main force of the German tank corps until the middle of World War II. The J-type is a model that was produced alongside the temporarily improved H-type, and its body was a completely new design. production of the J-type started in March 1941; it was initially equipped with a 42-caliber 5cm tank gun KwK, but from December 1941, a new 60-caliber 5cm gun, known as KwK39 and made by Rheinmetall, was used. After that time, Type-III tanks mounted with the 42 caliber gun were considered the ''early'' type and designated Sd.Kfz.141, whereas Type-III tanks mounted with the 60 caliber gun were considered the ''late'' type and designated Sd.Kfz.141/1. This kit includes workable track links, a movable torsion bar suspension, and a main hatch that can be opened and closed. Several types of options are available for some parts such as the mantlets and front armor; full interior parts and a 3D-printed barrel sleeve are also included. Photo-etched parts and decals for two versions are provided as well. Order yours today!
