1/72 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L Late Production

Dragon launches forth yet another 1/72 panzer in tremendous "Neo" collection. This time it's a German Panzer III Ausf.L Late-Production. The Panzer III Ausf.L featured a longer and more powerful 5cm KwK.39 L/60 main gun, as well as thicker armor with an additional 20mm-deep layer on the turret and hull front. A total of 653 Ausf.L tanks were produced by German factories from June-December 1942. One user of the variant was the heavy tank battalion s.Pz.Abt.502, the very first unit to receive the Tiger I. The unit's first taste of combat was in the Leningrad region from August 1942 onwards. This kit represents such a Panzer III L in that timeframe.
Dragon's Neo kit shows a Panzer III L resplendent in superb levels of 1/72 scale detail. The most convenient aspect of this kit is the highly detailed and easily assembled Neo Track that includes both pre-molded lengths and individual links. Consequently, they're easily manipulated to create a realistic sagging effect. This small-scale Panzer III Ausf.L kit is ready to join the siege of Leningrad with s.Pz.Abt.502, as Dragon has available a suitable Tiger I kit that would form the perfect accompaniment! Appropriate Cartograf decals are supplied for this unit. Not only that decals for other units are available.
