Panzer III (Late) Tank Platoon (Plastic) (GBX122) includes five plastic Panzer III (Late) tanks, one Decal sheet and four Unit cards. The 7.5cm gun version of the Panzer III proved an able support weapon but by the summer of 1943, despite its long and proven battle record, the tank was starting to show its age. To remedy this, it was uparmoured to bring it up to date.  Check out Panzer III (Late) Tank Platoon in the online store here...
