Academy 13545 - 1/35 German Panzer III Ausf.L Kursk Representation

The Academy 1/35 Panzer III Ausf.L presents a faithful scale study of an important World War II tank. Linked to the Battle of Kursk, this variant demonstrates the incremental armoured developments of 1943. The kit allows modellers to examine construction features typical of period armoured vehicles.

Historical Notes and Modelling Interest

At Kursk in 1943 the Panzer III Ausf.L benefitted from thicker armour and a 50mm L/60 gun to meet battlefield demands. Building this kit is a practical way to engage with the vehicle's role and the tactical shifts of that campaign.

Accuracy and Assembly Considerations

Academy has provided crisply detailed parts covering the turret, hull fittings and running gear. Assembly requires attention to small components and track fit; careful test fitting and tidy glue work will produce the best results.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed assembly with multiple components
This kit suits builders who have some experience with plastic modelling and glue assembly. Its finer parts and track work make it more demanding than basic snapfit kits.
Use appropriate wartime shades and subtle weathering to replicate operational wear. Primer, pre-shading and washes will help emphasise panel lines and detail.
Yes, the 1/35 scale makes it compatible with other military models at the same scale, enabling diorama work or grouped displays reflecting Eastern Front operations.
