About product

The PzKpfw III in three forms in 1:72 scale

The fifth sheet of the Wiking series covers PzKpfw III tanks from the Caucasus battlefield of the years 1942 to 1943. It distinguishes the Ausf J with the short barrel, the Ausf J with the long barrel and the support version Ausf N, and to these it adds generic turret numbers from zero to five.

Why two Ausf J Panzer IIIs differ

The early examples of the Ausf J had a 5cm gun with a shorter barrel; the later runs were given a longer barrel with higher muzzle velocity and better penetration. The Ausf N version, by contrast, carried a short 7.5cm gun intended for destroying firing positions and for supporting infantry, not for tank duels. Machines with the same hull and an entirely different role on the battlefield thus stand side by side, which makes the sheet a good basis for a whole group of models. The difference in the length of the barrel is moreover clearly apparent even on a finished small model.

Working with the turret numbers

The generic numbers allow any combination to be put together, so watch for the same spacing on both sides and at the rear of the turret. It pays to lay the position out dry with a pencil on paper first and only then to transfer an insignia onto the model. The base must be dry and smooth, so that the edges of the numbers are not left light. Symmetrical spacing always looks more orderly on a turret than random placement.

Who the set is useful for

  • modelers who build several versions of the PzKpfw III
  • anyone interested in the difference between the short and the long barrel
  • builders of scenes from the southern sector of the Eastern Front
  • everyone who needs turret numbers that can be freely put together

FAQ

According to the name, generic numbers in the range zero to five.

The Ausf N carried a short 7.5cm gun for support, the Ausf J a 5cm gun.

The generic numbers are not tied to a single type, but the particular extent of use does not follow from the name.
