By now most members of the popular Panzer III family have been created in 1/35 scale as Smart Kits by Dragon. However, there was one glaring gap between the Ausf.E, F, H, J and N that needed to be filled. Now Dragon is very pleased to be able to announce the long-awaited release of the Panzer III Ausf.M! The Ausf.M was successor to the Ausf.L, and it shared the same 5cm KwK39 L/60 main gun. Among its modifications was a deep-wading muffler with a series of associated hatch seals that allowed fording of water obstacles up to a depth of 1.3m. This performance represented a significant fording improvement over earlier Panzer IIIs. The hull-mounted smoke generators were also replaced with three 90mm NbK dischargers mounted either side of the turret. A total of 250 new Ausf.M tanks were produced from October 1942 to February 1943.
