Academy 13545 - 1/35 Panzer III Ausf.L Military Scale Kit  [AC-13545]

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.
