Overview of the Tamiya 35290 1/35 Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N kit

The Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N served mainly as an infantry support tank in WWII and was often fielded alongside heavier types like the Tiger. It was refitted with a short 75mm gun sourced from the Pz.kpfw.IV to address evolving battlefield threats. Production started in June 1942 with about 700 vehicles produced, frequently used by independent Panzer battalions.

What this kit includes

Tamiya's 1/35 kit delivers a precise scale reproduction suitable for display or diorama work. Included items are:

  • A scale short 75mm main gun assembly featuring a detailed breech and two mantlet configurations.
  • Aluminium gun barrel components for improved authenticity and finish.
  • Turret detail parts fitted with smoke discharger elements.
  • Three marking options, one suited to North Africa operations.
  • A crew figure that can be fitted with headphones or a signalling pistol.

Great for modellers focusing on desert operations, this kit complements related Tamiya releases like the Sd.Kfz.222.

The kit is moderately complex, with fine parts and aluminium gun pieces. It suits modellers with some experience in small-detail assembly and painting.
Aluminium parts benefit from light sanding and a suitable primer before painting to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish.
Yes, the kit includes three decal schemes, one of which recreates a North Africa paint and insignia layout for desert dioramas.
