Dragon 1/35 Military - 1/35 Dak Pz.Bef.Wg Iii Ausf H - D6901

The Panzerbefehlswagen III (Sd.Kfz.266/267/268) was the command-tank variant of Germany's Panzer III, built to keep armoured formation commanders in the thick of the action while maintaining constant radio contact with subordinate units. This release depicts an Ausf.H example in the markings and stowage typical of the Deutsches Afrikakorps, Rommel's famed desert army, complete with the sand-coloured camouflage, additional stowage bins and the distinctive frame antenna strung around the turret that let commanders coordinate fast-moving armoured thrusts across the North African desert.

Dragon reproduces the Ausf.H's bolted hull construction, appliqué armour plates and turret stowage racks with its trademark slide-moulded precision, while the command variant's extra radio equipment, reduced-calibre main armament, and additional aerial mounts are all rendered as dedicated parts rather than simple conversions from a gun tank kit.

The kit includes decals for Afrikakorps command vehicles along with a comprehensive instruction manual covering the frame antenna assembly and interior stowage detail.

A distinctive addition to any Afrikakorps collection or desert-warfare diorama, this command tank kit lets modellers depict the nerve centre of a panzer formation rather than just another gun tank.
