The Border Model BT-048 Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.K 2in1 w/Schürzen in 1/35 scale is a detailed kit representing the German Panzerbefehlswagen III command tank in the Ausf.K version, equipped with additional side skirts called Schürzen . This is a unique model that offers two vehicle configuration options ('2in1'), giving modelers greater personalization options and the ability to recreate the different versions of the tank used during World War II.

Features

Scale: 1/35 – this popular scale for military vehicle models ensures precise reproduction of details, which is especially important in the case of a command tank, where the accuracy of radio communication and command elements counts.
Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.K:
- Command version: The Panzerbefehlswagen III (Pz.Bef.Wg.) was a command tank based on the hull of the Panzer III medium tank. The Ausf.K version featured additional communication systems, which allowed for better coordination of troops in the field. This version was equipped with long-range radios and antennas, which was crucial for performing the command function.
- 2in1: The model offers two configuration options, meaning that the tank can be built in two different variants. This gives modelers the opportunity to choose between two versions that were used in different periods of World War II.
Shields Covers:
- Additional Armor: The kit includes Schürzen side skirts, which were fitted to the sides of the hull and turret to increase protection against HEAT and armor-piercing shells. These armor plates became a characteristic feature of many German vehicles in the later stages of the war.
- Detailed Schürzen elements: The model offers realistically reproduced mountings and the shields themselves, which can be mounted on the hull and turret. This adds authenticity and allows for a better representation of the tank from the later years of the war.
Construction details:
- Hull and Turret: The set offers precisely reproduced details of the hull and turret, including hatches, weapons, antennas and other elements characteristic of command tanks. The model allows for opening and closing the hatches, which gives the possibility of exposing the interior of the vehicle.
- Running gear: The set includes detailed running gear elements, such as suspension, supporting and idler wheels, and tracks. This makes the model very realistic.
Armament:
- Main Gun: The Pz.Bef.Wg.III Ausf.K retained the standard armament of the Panzer III, including the 50 mm KwK 39 L/60 gun. The kit offers accurately reproduced weapon elements, including gun mounting systems and the option of a moving barrel.
- Machine guns: The model also includes realistic reproductions of the MG34 machine guns that were the standard secondary armament of Panzer III tanks.
Extras and accessories:
- The set offers a variety of additional elements, such as towing ropes, service tools, ammunition boxes and details of infantry equipment. Thanks to these elements, the model can be enriched with additional accessories, which increases the realism of the final product.
Decals and paint schemes: The set includes decals to reproduce historical vehicle markings, such as tactical numbers, Wehrmacht crosses and unit markings. The set offers various paint schemes, including classic camouflages used by German armored units on various fronts of the war.
Level of difficulty: The model is intended for intermediate and advanced modelers. Numerous details and configuration options require precision and patience during assembly. Due to additional elements such as Schürzen covers, the set offers many challenges but also opportunities for experienced modelers.
