The No. 3 assault gun is a version that diverted the chassis of the No. 3 tank developed in Germany during World War II. The F8 type gets its name because the chassis of the Panzer III, which is the base body, had been changed from the 8th production lot to the J type. The front armor was welded in the initial production version, but vehicles produced after October 1942 had their front armor fixed in place with bolts. 

This model kit from Takom can be built with the main hatch opened or closed; the track is a link-and-length type. A metal gun barrel is included, as are photo-etched parts and decals for four versions.
