About The Marder III Ausf H
Based on the Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, the German Sd.Kfz. 138 Marder III mounted the effective 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun in an open-topped fighting compartment. The Ausf H layout placed the engine at the rear and the gun centrally, improving crew protection behind an inclined shield. Introduced in 1942 to meet the challenges on the Eastern Front, the Marder III served across multiple theatres until the end of the war.
This Italeri kit offers a balanced mix of detail and buildability, making it suitable for enthusiasts interested in WWII armour, German self-propelled guns, and diorama settings. The included figures and multiple marking options provide flexibility for varied historical subjects.

The German tank destroyer Sd.Kfz. 138 Marder III was developed for use by the German army based upon the chassis of the obsolete, but available, Czechoslovakian production light tank Panzer 38 (t). The modification involved the adoption, in an open structure protected by an inclined plate shield, of the effective PaK 40 75 mm anti-tank gun. The Marder III Ausf. H had the engine fitted in the rear of the vehicle and the weapon system in a central position, in order to ensure greater protection for the crew. In this configuration the Wehrmacht had a tank destroyer that was easy to produce and with firepower that could counteract main battle tanks of the period. It entered production in 1942 to meet the challenge of the eastern front operational theater but was ultimately deployed on all fronts until the end of the war.
