Miniart 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. C - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35166
The Panzerkampfwagen III, widely known as the Panzer III, was a German medium tank produced by the Daimler-Benz AG in the 1930's. According to the Army Weapons Department plans, the Panzer III was aimed to serve as the main battle tank of the German Panzer divisions. It was meant to fight enemy tank forces with the support of the Panzer IV which was intended to neutralise anti-tank guns.
The Panzer III was able to reach speeds up to 40 km/h by road and 20 km/h off road. Its armament included one 37 mm KwK 36 L/45 cannon and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. Compared to its successors, the Ausf. G and Ausf. J, the Panzer III featured a relatively thin armour (15 mm). It had space for five crew members.
When the Soviet T-34 first appeared on the battlefield, the Germans saw the urgent need for a more powerful anti-tank gun. The decision was made to redesign the Panzer IV as it had more potential for further development. The Ausf. C soon became outdated and its production ended in 1943. The tank was deployed in several German campaigns of the early war period including the September Campaign in Poland, the Fall of France and Operation Barbarossa.
The kit contains 1047 plastic parts. It is the first plastic model of the Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf. C.

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.
