La marca Tamiya es atractiva para muchos modelistas al equilibrar aspectos importantes como precio, buen ajuste entre piezas, un número razonable de piezas y la buena calidad del plástico. Este modelo es igual de recomendable para un modelista principiante, quien podrá armar este modelo sin muchos problemas apegándose al instructivo o, para modelistas avanzados, que busquen un modelo bien diseñado al que puedan darle un acabado más sofisticado.

Great kit from Tamiya as usual, loads of detail but easy to build. Good price, and delivered fairly quickly

Muy bien detallado y a la vez fácil de armar como todos los modelos tamiya, Mejor que un modelo M que arme hace 35 años del mismo tamiza

Tamiya is making a move to "own" the 1/35 scale Panzer III market, much the way Dragon has taken over that of the 1/35 Panzer IV. Tamiya's Panzer III L (MM35215) shares almost nothing in common with the old Tamiya kit from the mid-1970s other than the subject matter. Gone is anything that even remotely echoes those old battery-powered-motor driven kits. This is a brilliant model, designed from the beginning to be only a display piece and never a toy, well-engineered and executed, with superb detail at a quite reasonable cost. To employ what has become a near-cliche in the modeling hobby, this kit practically falls together on its own. Assembly is easy and straightforward, helped immeasurably by clear, well-written and well-organized instructions (a virtue to which not all of Tamiya's competitors can lay claim), along with an avoidance on the part of Tamiya of over-complicating the model with too many often needless parts. Nowhere on this kit is there a sense that the engineers decided "Hey, we can make this subassembly out of 16 pieces rather than just the 5 it really needs!", a shortcoming too easily found in Dragon kits, and the level of detail, which is very high, is consistent throughout, unlike some offerings by Academy, where the detail can be hit-or-miss. If built with a bit of patience and attention to detail, this kit will make an average modeler look good -- and a good modeler will salivate over the possibilities for fine detailing and minor modifications.Mind you, this kit isn't perfect. There is no interior detail in either the hull or turret, save for a rudimentary breech on the main gun, there are no clear plastic parts representing the vision blocks for the ports in the turret doors or the commander's cupola, and the kit has the usual Tamiya "rubber band"-style tracks, which, while nicely detailed, don't look as convincing as the separate-link-type tracks that Dragon includes with their kits. Also, the commander figure included with the kit is a bit stiff-looking, while the Iron Cross First Class and the Panzer Warfare badge on his uniform are way over-molded. For what it's worth, I suggest replacing the stock tracks with a set of aftermarket separate-link tracks, and using an aftermarket resin figure if you to have one with your tank. Lastly, I wish there were more decal options offered than just the three included; I would have preferred to see markings for the 21st or 15th Panzer Divisions at El Alamein, for example.None of these carps are sufficient to make me back away from my 5-star rating, however; the rest of the model is just that good. Yes, in terms of extreme detail, some of Dragon's offerings are slightly better, but it does so at a nearly 50% higher price, and I could find nowhere on this kit where I felt disappointed or even just let down by the detail. While this Panzer III L doesn't quite scale the rarified heights of Tamiya's Matilda II Mk III or Char B1, it comes pretty darn close. For the price, the value received is unbeatable.
