Academy 13545 - 1/35 German Panzer III Ausf.L Kursk Variant

The Academy 1/35 Panzer III Ausf.L model is aimed at modellers who want a hands-on look at a key WWII armoured vehicle. With its ties to the Battle of Kursk, the kit represents an important moment in armoured combat development. Builders can explore the vehicle layout and key features during assembly.

Kursk Background and Modelling Appeal

The 1943 Battle of Kursk was a major confrontation on the Eastern Front, where the Panzer III Ausf.L received armour upgrades and a 50mm L/60 gun to boost its combat role. Recreating this tank gives modellers an opportunity to reflect those battlefield improvements in miniature.

Detail Level and Workshop Tips

Academy provides finely cast parts that show turret fittings, hatches and running gear clearly. Track work and small components will benefit from careful handling and dry fitting. The kit rewards patience and neat construction for a convincing finished model.
