The Panzer III was used in various German campaigns in Poland, France, the Soviet Union, and North Africa. The Ausf. H variant utilized the 50mm KwK 38 L/42 cannon, with bolt-on armor added to the front and rear hull. The Panzer III’s strong, reliable, and durable chassis was also used as the basis for the turretless Sturmgeschtz III assault gun/tank destroyer, one of the most successful self-propelled guns of WWII.

By the end of the war in 1945, the Panzer III saw almost no frontline use, and many of them had been returned to the few remaining armaments/tank factories for conversion into ammunition carriers or recovery vehicles. A few other variants of the Panzer III were also experimented on and produced by German industries towards the last phases of the war, but few were mass-produced or even saw action against the encroaching enemy forces of the Americans, British and Soviets.

This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight. Heng Long has produced RC tanks for over 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks.
