Italeri 6566 1:35 Dt.Sd.Kfz.138 Marder III Ausf. H

The tank destroyer Marder III Sd.Kfz. 138 was developed for the Wehrmacht on the basis of the now obsolete Czechoslovak-made Panzerkampfwagen 38(t). It went into production in 1942 for the needs of the eastern operation area and was used on all fronts until the end of the war. A major improvement was the installation of an effective 75 mm anti-tank gun protected by a slanted steel shield. In order to better protect the soldiers, the engine was placed in the rear part of the vehicle and the weapon system in the middle. With the Marder III, the Wehrmacht had an easy-to-manufacture tank destroyer with high firepower that was capable of fighting the most important tanks of the time.
