Another outing for the Panzer III (in 1/35th Scale) from Dragon Models has been announced. This Time, a very late version - the Ausf. M.

Was only a matter of time for them to get to the M after they had done the N w/ Shurzen on the M hull. They've almost completely re-done the Pz III line with Smart Kit releases...won't be too much longer before they've got all the holes filled in place of the aging Imperial Series 90xx releases.

$5 says DML's next Panzer III release will be "Panzer M with Schurzen: Kursk 1943" through Cyberhobby.

So what is the difference between this kit and Cyberhobby white box kit #6605 beside the water-proof cover basement?

So it's another Pz III... How exciting...

Bet that next week they will publish an Ausf. M that has lost its spare wheel. And the week after an Ausf. M that has damaged one of its fenders. And the week after an Ausf. M whose commander has the measles. And after that..... yawn...

Does anybody else remember the times when modellers were eager to alter existing models to reproduce the Ausf. they wanted to display?

I wish they would stop to pop out every imaginable version of every wehrmacht piece and go on with something that doesn't already exist instead...

Hi folks,

not being an Axis modeller can anyone tell me if any of the DML or other manufacturers Aust IIIs come with interiors and indi tracks?

Thanks

Alan,

DML kits come with indies and basic interiors for the turret only (Smart Kits, the older Imperial Series had no interior at all). Tamiya has a Pz III-L but with rubber-band tracks and no interior. That's about it in terms of selection in 1/35. HTH!

Al, FWIW, Tank Workshop has a Pz. III resin interior, but you won't like the price, LOL.

You forgot the Ausf.M version painted in green and was captured by the russians. Special release will be the Ausf. M that comes with an umbrella.
