Dragon’s fantastic 1/35 scale Neo Smart Kit range is gathering momentum
as it rides a wave of popularity. It’s therefore time to add another
newcomer, this time is the final variant of the Panzer III family, the
Ausf.N, one that’s operating in the hot climate of North Africa with the
German Afrika Korps. Armed with a short-barreled, low-velocity 7.5cm
KwK.37 L/24 gun, the Panzer III N was commonly issued to Tiger
battalions. This is certainly the case with this Dragon kit, which shows
a tank from s.Pz.Abt.501. The second battalion ever to receive Tiger I
tanks, s.Pz.Abt.501 fought in Tunisia from November 1942 till its surrender in May the following year.
Receiving the standard, but exemplary, Neo Smart Kit treatment, this new
item features Dragon’s Neo track links as well as a interior. The result
for the market is the most accurate Panzer III kit ever from Dragon.
Indeed, the kit is extremely well engineered in 1/35 scale, offering a
sublime balance between accuracy and easy assembly. Dragon already
offers a scintillating kit of Tiger Is fighting in Tunisia during the
desert war, so this Neo Smart Kit could make the perfect accompaniment
for a dramatic scene, or then again this excellent tank is good enough
to stand on its own in a sandy and dusty Afrika Korps setting too!
