Italeri 1/35 Sd.Kfz.139 PzJager Marder III
Description
This self propelled anti-tank was built by the Germans in 1942 in order to combat the latest Russian tanks.
Using the same body as the German Pz 38(t), the turret was substituted with a fixed superstructure which incorporated a 75mm Pak 40 gun.
The engine and interior equipment remained unchanged and therefore the vehicle was very high, leaving the gunners rather exposed.
From 1943 to 1944, a total of 975 units were built and was widely used in Tunisia, Russia and Italy.
