Tamiya 35290 - 1/35 German Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N (Sd.Kfz.141/2)  [35290]

Exploring the Tamiya 35290 1/35 German Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N Model Kit

The German Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N, a notable variant in WWII history, was designed to support infantry units and protect heavier tanks such as the Tiger. Known for its reliability, this model was adapted to meet the changing demands of warfare by incorporating a short-barreled 75mm gun, originally from the Pz.kpfw.IV. This adaptation allowed it to remain relevant despite the increasing power of Allied tanks. From June 1942, around 700 units were produced, often deployed with independent Panzer Battalions.
