Hobby Boss 80150 German Pz.Kpfw.III/IV auf Einheitsfahrgestell 1/35

The plastic model kit Hobby Boss 80150 German Pz.Kpfw.III/IV auf Einheitsfahrgestell in 1/35 scale is a proposal for fans of historical German tanks from the World War II era. The presented model depicts a vehicle developed within the German chassis standardization program for Pz.Kpfw.III and IV tanks (Einheitsfahrgestell). It was an ambitious optimization project from 1944, aimed at simplifying the production and logistics of the Third Reich's armored units by introducing a unified chassis base for several types of armored vehicles.

Although prototype contracts were awarded to manufacturers as early as March 1944 and serial production was supposed to begin at the Krupp-Grusonwerk factory at the beginning of 1945, real implementation of the vehicle was abandoned in the summer of 1944 in favor of producing the Jagdpanzer IV L/70 tank destroyer. The Pz.Kpfw.III/IV version thus remained a prototype, but became an intriguing object of interest for fans of experimental armored vehicles.
