Takom 8002 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M mit scharzen
The basic design layout of the Panzer III was the same as the previous Panzer I and II, with the gearbox at the front and the engine at the rear of the hull. The turret was an enlarged version of the one used on the Panzer II, able to house three of the five-man crew (commander, gunner and loader). This new arrangement dramatically improved the fighting power of the tank by increasing its rate of fire.
