Tamiya 35258 - 1/35 German Marder III M Brass 7.5cm Projectiles  [35258]

Enhancing Your Scale Model Experience with Tamiya's Marder III M Projectiles

The Tamiya 1/35 German Marder III M Brass 7.5cm Projectiles set is an essential addition for modelers seeking to elevate their military diorama or scale model display. This kit captures the historical significance of the Marder III, a key player in Germany's World War II anti-tank strategy.

Historical Context of the Marder III

The Marder III emerged as a response to Germany's encounter with formidable Soviet tanks such as the T34 and KV during their 1941 invasion of Russia. Initially equipped with a 37mm anti-tank gun, the German forces found themselves outgunned. Consequently, the Marder was upgraded to a 75mm Pak40/L46 anti-tank gun mounted on a Czechoslovakian 38t chassis, providing the firepower and mobility necessary to counter the Soviet threat. The Marder III M, produced in significant numbers, served as a crucial component of Germany's armored warfare until the advent of the Jagdpanzer 38t Hetzer.

Kit Features and Display Potential

This Tamiya accessory kit offers modelers two types of rounds: the Pzgr.40 Armor Piercing and Gr.38 Hl/B High Explosive rounds. With a total of 22 rounds, including partially cut and whole rounds, as well as empty shells, this set allows for realistic detailing of ammunition racks and battlefield scenarios. The precision of these components enhances the authenticity of any Marder III model build, making it a standout piece in a collection.
