Product Description

- Enjoy the unique submarine tank of Operation Sea Lion in a realistic way with the Magic Track tracks. This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces in 1/35 scale the German Panzer III Ausf. F submarine tank type that was active in World War II.
- This kit uses buildable Magic Tracks for the tracks and also includes a figure of Guderian, the planner of the operation.

[About the actual car]
- In the early stages of World War II, the Panzer III was one of the main battle tanks used by the German army in the blitzkrieg campaign.
- Meanwhile, the German army planned Operation Sealion, an invasion of Britain across the English Channel from France. For this operation, the Panzer III submarine tank was developed.
- A buoy connected to pipes was placed above the water, and the vehicle's body, which was waterproof in every part, was able to navigate to a depth of about 15m.
- There were three types of tanks based on the Panzer III: F, G, and H.
- The F-type submarine tank was equipped with a 3.7 cm gun. Over 400 were produced between 1939 and 1940.
- However, Operation Sea Lion was canceled and the submarine tanks were no longer used, but they were modified with fixed snorkels and were used effectively on the eastern front for river crossings.

[About the model]
- The model is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces a submarine tank based on the Panzer III Ausf. F.
- This kit comes with a bonus figure of Heinz Guderian, the man who planned Operation Sea Lion. In addition, the tracks are equipped with prefabricated Magic Tracks to enhance the realism of the chassis.
- Of course, the body of the vehicle is faithfully modeled after the Panzer III F type submarine tank.
- All the parts necessary for a submarine tank are reproduced in detail, including a floating snorkel buoy, rubber hose, depth marker, commander's cupola with waterproof cover, waterproof mantlet cover, and waterproof parts under the turret.
- The rubber hose rack parts attached to the vehicle body also have a sharp finish.
- Don't miss the unique combination of the submarine tank and Guderian figure.
