MIA35166 - MiniArt 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.C - WWHP111429

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Panzer III Ausf.C was the third development variant of the Pz.Kpfw.III series, produced in small numbers — only 15 built — between January and June 1938. It introduced a revised suspension with leaf-spring arrangements for the road wheels, a servo-operated epicyclic clutch, and a redesigned drive sprocket and idler. Armed with a 37mm KwK 36 and two MG34s, it saw combat only in Poland in September 1939, after which surviving vehicles were relegated to training duties. The first injection-moulded 1/35 scale kit of this variant.
