Description
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The Type III was one of Germany's main battle tanks during World War II. It first appeared in 1937, and many improved versions were released after that time. Among them, the N type is equipped with a short-barrel 7.5cm gun based on the J, L and M types. From June 1942 to August 1943, 663 of the N type were produced. Thirty-seven further tanks were remodeled into N types after being returned for repairs until 1944, making the total number of N types produced 700. The N type was a powerful weapon on the battlefield, and was deployed to the North African Front to the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion as a support for the Tiger I.
This kit from Dragon reproduces the N type tank that was deployed to the German-African legion on the North African Front. The shape of the rear turret box that's unique to this tank is reproduced by slide molding; it also features accurate reproduction of the road wheels, sprocket wheels and idler wheels, with new parts for NEO tracks for a realistic undercarriage. Natural sagging and damage is also possible to express with the NEO tracks. The engine deck hatch and armor plate are molded into the hull, and the turret reproduces the 7.5cm gun and coaxial machine gun with the muzzle open. Photo-etched parts are included for the grille mesh and other parts, and the commander's hatch can be assembled either opened or closed. Order yours now!

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required
This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
