What to know about the Tamiya 35290 1/35 Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N

The Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N served as an infantry support tank during WWII and operated alongside heavier tanks like the Tiger. Refitted with a short 75mm gun taken from the Pz.kpfw.IV, it remained operational as battlefield threats evolved. Production began in June 1942 with around 700 built, and many examples served within independent Panzer battalions.

Details included in the kit

Tamiya's 1/35 scale kit recreates this variant with careful attention to parts and options. The kit features:

  • A model of the short 75mm main gun complete with a gun breech and two mantlet options.
  • High-quality aluminium components for the gun barrel to enhance realism.
  • Accurate turret fittings including smoke discharger details.
  • Three marking schemes, one representing North Africa operations.
  • A crew figure offered with headphone or signal pistol options.

An excellent choice for those modelling the North African theatre, the kit complements related releases such as the Sd.Kfz.222.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Main Gun: Short-barreled 75mm
  • Material: Aluminum parts for gun barrel
  • Markings: Three options including North Africa
The kit is best tackled by those with some modelling experience due to small parts and aluminium components, though a careful beginner could complete it with patience and basic tools.
For the North Africa option, consult period-accurate references; commonly used colours include desert yellows and earth tones. Model paint manufacturers list equivalent colour matches for ease.
Aftermarket aluminium barrels, photo-etched details and resin accessories are available from specialist suppliers if you wish to enhance the kit further.
