Tamiya 35248 1/35 German Marder III Tank Destroyer Model Kit - Scale Modeller Edition  [35248]

Overview of the Tamiya 35248 1/35 Marder III

The German Tank Destroyer Marder III answered an urgent WWII need for more effective anti-tank weapons when German forces met the Soviet T-34. Built on the reliable Pz.Kpfw.38(t) chassis and mounting the captured 7.62cm Pak36(r), the vehicle could defeat armor up to about 122mm in ideal conditions.

Build and detailing notes for modellers

This 1/35 kit from Tamiya reproduces the Marder III with careful attention to the gun mounting, crew positions and external fittings. Parts are engineered for clean assembly, and movable protectors and sight elements give model builders scope to pose the vehicle realistically. The kit is suited to modellers who enjoy accurate small-scale armour work and basic weathering techniques.

Display and Collection Value

With faithful proportions and clear moulding, the Marder III is a strong display subject for dioramas or a shelf roster of WWII vehicles. The kit includes two crew figures and five battlefield markings, letting modellers personalise camouflage and unit identity for a more convincing presentation.
