Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. M

Name	Pz kpfw III Ausf.M (Item No.03117)
Producer	Revell, Germany
Packing	Classical Revell cover from thin pasteboard. On upside there is an action drawing of "three" in Kursk battle with destroyed and burning Lend-Lease M3 in background. On side there is a brief vignette of model and his pattern and two photographs of built kit.
Type of kit	Model of well-known German tank from first half of WWII, made by die-casting from polystyren
Quality	Castings from sand coloured polystyren are lay-out into frames. Model conception very nearly tie together with previous Revell products, especially Pz 4. Particular part they are made very good, without fray and short-run casting. Details on surface of parts they are very fine and trustworthy. Like small absence I would assess fact, that part of pioneer equipment is made as one part together with mudguards. Separate would be these details certainly better. Contrariwise was producer very successful with mading auxiliary armour of "applique" type in front of driver and wireless operator compartment and in front of cannon shield. In my opinion, up to now no one producer make these parts better. Track are, like is a good habit at Revell models, made from hard polystyren and split into number of sections. Model presents only one variant, namely Ausf. M with side skirts on hull and tower. Here is suggest of possibility of conversion to Ausf. N with 75 mm short-barrel gun, also it‘s possible slightly exacting conversion on previous version Ausf. L. Older versions' convertions are relatively complicated, especially for necessity to make a new motor covers. ( Rem. : For the one, who 'd like to built some from older versions, especially Ausf. G,H and J, is advantage (and easier) use as a basis model from Fujimi, which has this part designed skilful. Only it's necessity to reconcile with lower qualities and scale, which is introduction as 1/76, but in fact it's rather 1/74 ). Outlines faith of model is very accurate.
Instruction sheet	Instruction is detailed and well-arranged and make possible the no-problem construction, for beginners too.
Decals	Decalcomania offer two versions of tank, both from complex of battles in Kursk bow, in the concrete from 2. and 3. Panzerdivision. Register of colours is mistake-free.
General Impression & Note	Revell stick in with his up-to-date kit again, keep up high quality of his models and according to my opinion placed on the market the best meanwhile made model of famous "three" in our scale, many times surpassing Esci, Fujimi and Matchbox.
