Description
1/35 German Marder III M
During WWII, the German Army produced and operated the Marder III series on the Czech-built obsolete 38(t) tank chassis, to combat the Soviet T-34 tanks. The first version of the Marder was armed with an improved Soviet 7.62cm Pak36 anti-tank cannon, which was replaced with a German 7.5cm Pak40 gun on the H version; the last version, the Marder III M was put into production in May 1943. The M featured a new layout with rear cabin and midship engine, and a 7.5cm Pak40/3 was also employed. 942 Ms were produced until the thoroughbred tank destroyer Hetzer assumed much of the Marder’s role.
