Sacrificing armour for power, this superbly detailed new plastic Marder III Ausf. H will pack one helluva punch in your games of Bolt Action!
Marrying the obsolete but reliable chassis of the Czech-built Pz 38(t) tank and the captured Soviet 76.2mm PaK 36(r) L/51 anti-tank gun, the Marder (Marten) provided the Wehrmacht with a potent self-propelled gun. The captured Soviet 76.2mm were rechambered to accept German 75mm PaK 40 ammunition, avoiding supply issues. As the war progressed, the main guns were replaced with the PaK 40 anti-tank guns.
This box set contains:
- A 1/56th scale hard plastic Marder III Ausf. H tank destroyer
- 3 plastic crew
- Bolt Action stat cards
- Full-colour waterslide decal sheet
- Vehicle damage markers
- A full-colour, detailed, instruction leaflet
Deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts, the Marder III also saw action in North Africa where it was one of the few German options to counter the heavily armoured British Matilda infantry tanks.
In all, 1,581 Marder III tank destroyers were produced and would continue to be employed to the war’s end in 1945.
