1/35 Pz.Kpfw III Ausf. J (2 in 1)

One of the workhorse AFVs of the German Army during WWII, the Panzer III was seen in many variations during its service life, including the 50mm-gunned Ausf. J version depicted by this kit.

Here's another new-generation "Smart Kit" from Dragon, a series of high-detail, low-hassle kits featuring clever engineering and employing the latest in slide-mold technology to achieve the highest level of detail with the lowest number of parts. The philosophy here is "work smarter, not harder," catering to the OOTB (Out Of The Box) modeler who wants a high fidelity of detail and accuracy without having to make a ton of modifications along the way. The kit still includes plenty of parts, to be sure, but the clever engineering means modelers will face fewer hurdles getting them all together. The easy-to-assemble individual-link Magic Tracks are already cleaned up and are ready to be assembled, and feature the elusive guide horn detail (that is, they're open!) missing on most incarnations of this track. Slide-molded parts are used for both choices of main gun (L/60 or L/42...there's your "2 in 1"!) with open muzzles with rifling, additional armor for the mantlet, and newly tooled parts all included all around the vehicle. Even the exhaust pipes have hollow ends! Includes a fret of photo-etched metal detail parts and markings for eight vehicles.
