  Panzer III - Definition, explanation
The Panzer III was used in the campaigns against Poland, France, the Soviet Union and in North Africa.
The unusually heavy rear armor of the Panzer III meant that it could engage enemy tanks while either advancing or retreating, whereas most tanks had to be careful while maneuvering to keep their thin rear armor away from the enemy.
The Panzer III had a crew of five: the commander, gunner, and loader in the turret, and the driver and hull gunner/radio operator in the front of the hull.

The Panzer III was used in the campaigns against Poland, France, the Soviet Union and in North Africa.
The Panzer III was outclassed by the Soviet T-34 and KV tanks, although German tactical skill, crew training, and the good ergonomics of the Panzer III all contributed to a rough 6:1 favorable kill ratio for German tanks of all types in 1941.

 PzKpfw III
The PzKpfw III was intended to equip three of the panzer battalion's four companies, with the PzKpfw IV as the equipment of the fourth or heavy company.
Senior tank officers like General Guderian preferred to arm the first versions of the PzKpfw III with a 50mm gun, a sensible provision at a time when the British were beginning to fit a 40mm gun into their Cruiser tank series and the Russians were employing a 45mm gun in their BTs and T-26s.
The PzKpfw III was therefore armed with a short barrel 37mm gun, but it proved to be a blessing in the later years that the size of the turret had been designed large enough, which allowed to mount a 50mm gun without major structural modifications.

 Revell 1/72 Panzer III M
Since the PzKpfw III was intended to be used in the forward element of an armored assault force, it had to be protected from enemy fire from all directions.
Panzer III M consists of 181 injected molded pieces, which includes link and length track.  The molding quality is very high and this is the best small-scale injected kit I have seen to date.  Decals consist of two schemes, both on the Eastern Front — the first of the 6.
Next up is the construction of the turret, and having the top doors as “open able” pieces will please those who like to open up parts of their tanks.  After the turret is glued all together, adding it to the hull assembly finishes the construction.

 The North African Campaign Of World War II

Panzer III`s were mostly armed with either 37mm guns or 50mm guns depending on the variant.
