The Roco Panzer III is a very old kit, they have been around since the 1960's. As such, it frequently shows up in used collections. It's pretty good for a kit that's so old. This one has an old Roco Panzer IV turret with machine gun on top. It was not a vehicle that was fielded, but it could have been. I like to have the occasional unusual vehicle in the collection, for use in Weird War Two games or for other one off games.
Mid to late war the Panzer III was often protected with extra armor in the form of side skirts and a horseshoe collar. Some of my collection includes tanks like this with armor made from sheet sytrene, and others with armor converted from the old Roco Panzer IV.
Panzer III as engineer vehicle. Open top box superstructure, crane on the back, and wooden beams for bridging.
Flamethrower version, slip a small metal tube over the regular barrel to simulate the thicker flamethrower barrel.
Supply vehicle with canvas cover. Remove the turret and replace with a "canvas."
Munitions carrier, very common in Tiger companies. Tiger ammo was large and heavy.
