We are pleased to present you our first vehicle for our new Battle of Kursk series, KUR001 German Panzer III M from the 6th Panzer Division. During the Battle of Kursk in July 1943, the Panzer III M, a variant of the Panzer III tank used by the 6th Panzer Division, played a significant role in the intense clashes between German and Soviet forces. Equipped with a more powerful 50mm gun compared to earlier versions, the Panzer III M was employed in attempts to break through Soviet defenses during the German offensive. Despite its improved armament, the Panzer III M faced considerable challenges due to the increasingly effective Soviet defenses, including anti-tank weapons and the formidable T-34 tanks. The engagement at Kursk highlighted the evolving nature of armored warfare and the need for continued adaptation in tank design and tactics.
The model is made from a mixed media (resin, metal, plastic, brass, photo etch, etc...) and has the following features: - Opening & Closing Commanders Hatch - Fully Rotating Turret - Gun Barrel Raises and Lowers - Antenna Raises/Lowered - Full Hull and Turret Steel Shurtzen Skirts that are fully configurable - use some or all, your choice! - Extremely realistic weathering and superb sculpting and painting
