The model was built as tank of SS division "NORD" - 1942. Miniart kit was used as a base, also cables from Evrika was added.
Some historical notes about Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf. D series.
Order for 3b./Z.W. Series was pushed in parallel with order for 3a./Z.W. Series, by this reason there are no differences for both series in some documents. Tanks of Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.D modification got serial numbers in range 60316–60340. All tanks of the third series was finally finished by the end of November 1938. But manufacturing of Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.D was not over, because the order for 4 additional Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.B. continued to be listed at Daimler-Benz. The order was reissued to 5 additional Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.D with serial numbers in range 60221–60225. Order fulfillment was delayed for several reasons and the tanks was finished only in October 1940. As result the latest 5 tanks got towers from Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.B.
The tanks were used firstly in Norway and than in Finland.
