However, there was one glaring gap between the Ausf.E, F, H, J and N that needed to be filled. Now Dragon is very pleased to be able to announce the long-awaited release of the Panzer III Ausf.M! The Ausf.M was successor to the Ausf.L, and it shared the same 5cm KwK39 L\/60 main gun. Among its modifications was a deep-wading muffler with a series of associated hatch seals that allowed fording of water obstacles up to a depth of 1.3m. This performance represented a significant fording improvement over earlier Panzer IIIs. The hull-mounted smoke generators were also replaced with three 90mm NbK dischargers mounted either side of the turret.

However, model-makers will certainly not wish to do so with their new kit, because inside the box lie all the necessary and desirable ingredients to create a spectacular Panzer III M with its deep-wading exhaust system. Offered as a Smart Kit, it is extremely well engineered and the parts separation is cleverly handled by the engineering team. In addition to the obviously exhaust system, one of the new components are the tow cables stowed on the engine deck.
