Marder III Ausf. M tank Destroyer

Bolt Action: Marder III Ausf. M tank destroyer

*For the last production series, the Panzer 38(t) Ausf. M chassis, now specially redesigned for self-propelled guns, was used. The engine was moved to the middle and the fighting compartment to the rear of the hull. This also improved splinter protection for the crew, as the fighting compartment was now closed at the rear, though still open at the top. The redesigned driver's front also offered better protection against gunfire. 27 rounds of ammunition were carried.*

With 942 units, the vehicle now called Marder III Ausf. M was the most built version of the Marder series and proved to be an effective, but vulnerable tank destroyer on all fronts. Production of the Ausf. M ran from May 1943 to May 1944, after which production switched to the more effective and better armored Jagdpanzer 38(t), which was also based on the Panzer 38(t) chassis.

The box contains:
- 1 resin and metal vehicle
