HobbyBoss 1:35 - Marder III Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M Early
80169
£45.00 GBP
The German tank destroyer Marder III was deployed from 1942 until 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. The Marder used the chassis and the roofless fighting compartment of the Panzer 38(t). Its main armament was either the Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936 or the German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the 75mm Pak 40. Unlike the previous models, this variant featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear for better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. This gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Marder III Ausf.M included a commander, a gunner, a loader and a driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

Academy 1:35 - Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind (Replaces ACA01333) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13236
The Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" (Whirlwind in English) was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun designed by the Germans on the basis of the Panzer IV tank. Its development was launched in 1944 when Nazi troops suffered great losses from Allied Air Forces.
The Flakpanzer IV featured an open-top turret fitted with four 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns. It was nicknamed "Keksdose" ("Biscuit Tin") because of the turret shape which reminded of a nine-sided polygon.
On the battlefield 2 cm shells turned out insufficient against aircraft, however in general the gun performed well against infantry troops as well as trucks and armoured cars. Later the Flakpanzer IV was replaced with the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind (East Wind), a version more powerful against air targets.

Academy 1:35 - Sturmgeschütz IV assault tank (Replaces ACA13235) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13235
The Sturmgeschütz IV, shortened to StuG IV or Sd.Kfz.167, was a German assault gun designed on the basis of the Panzer IV in the last years of the Second World War. The main role of the StuG IV on the battlefield was the same anti-tank role of its predecessor the StuG III. The use of StuG IV guns was a considerable support to the weakening German forces on both fronts.
The StuG IV was practically identical to its predecessor, however it was a bit lighter, which in view of the limited resources was a great advantage. In the period between December 1943 and May 1945 over a thousand of StuG IVs were built. The gun was proved effective against both Soviet and Allied tanks.

Equipped with radio and a German commander's cupola, T-34 747(r) tanks were also marked with a Balkenkreuz or a swastika in order to differentiate them from Soviet T-34's.
