Brass projectile set for authentic Marder III M modelling

The Tamiya 1/35 German Marder III M Brass 7.5cm Projectiles pack supplies modellers with finely cast brass shells to enhance period accuracy on models and scenes. These parts are suited to display work where close-up fidelity and metal surfaces are important.

Operational role of the Marder III M

Facing Soviet T34 and KV armour in 1941, German units upgraded from a 37mm gun to the 75mm Pak40/L46 to regain anti-tank effectiveness. The Pak40 was mounted on the Czechoslovakian 38t chassis, and the resulting Marder III M served across many fronts until replaced in its role by the Jagdpanzer 38t Hetzer.

Kit composition and modelling potential

The set comprises Pzgr.40 armour piercing and Gr.38 Hl/B high explosive types. With 22 pieces including partially sectioned rounds, full rounds and empty shells, the kit lets you outfit racks, create spent ordnance scenes or add technical detail to workshop dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Brass
  • Includes: 14 partially cut rounds, 4 whole rounds, 4 empty shells
They are designed to complement Marder III kits and integrate well with Tamiya parts, though minor fitting or pinning may be required for a secure installation.
The pack contains both armour piercing Pzgr.40 rounds and Gr.38 Hl/B high explosive rounds, giving options for varied display setups.
Position empty shells with slight rotation and use thin adhesive or tiny pins so they sit naturally in racks; add soot and dust washes to sell used ordnance.
