This is the DML Tauchpanzer III ausf H with Judio barrel, Aber PE, Friultracks, Tamiya Pz IV on vehicle equipment, been so long I last posted something panzer, so I think I give it a try.

Nice to see a German tank again! You've claimed all of these months to be an exclusive German armour modeller and all I've seen are floating things, or flying things!

How are you going to paint it? I see you have tamiya putty for mud and stuff so do you paint the whole thing, and then go back and paint the putty in mud/dirt colour?

Davidus,

Hey pal, well done on the DML Tauchpanzer III ausf H. real nice detailing but one thing I notice that there is too much sag on the tracks. All in all, you have done a great job.

Nice job - have to admit - its kinda strange seeing something gravitationally challenged from you recently

You definitely know your way around a PE fret. Very nice control.

On a personal point - I would add a bit of mud to the shock system. It seems a bit lacking.

What brand of CA do you use?

Agreed. Way too much sag on the tracks. Otherwise, it looks great.

Yeah the sag is way too much. I decided to savage it. I just disassemble the right hull to get into the inside pin, I am going to make it work. I think all them planes made me lost the touch...

:-) Looking good Dave, it will never fly though
Mal

Good looking panzer Dave !
Is it a "what if" the german had won the BfB and tried to invade the UK ?

GREAT TANK AND EXCELLENT WORK
CONGRATS

ROBERTO

looks great, very nice work, but im with Mal on this one, she will never fly

Bender

another well detailed kit from that respectable bum in Hong kong. And for once he is being truthful too........ it is german armor!.

Well done Dave :-)

SS,can you get a slightly thinner wire for the power cable to the notek light.Yours looks a bit thick.If you can,the Achtung panzer books show a top line drawing,and the wire is thinner.It terminates directly behind the jeadlight mount on the front.
I wouldnt get too frazzled over the track slack,it robably loosened up like that from all the taxiing you did with it on your work bench.

IT WILL NOT FLY.
INFACT,IT IS GARANTEED TO SINK IN WATER.

Nice work Dave. Pse keep on posting the updates...
Ciao

hey hey Dave

Sorry that I post so late (quite a heavy weekend and not seeing so much computers :-) )
Great job dude I see that you go back to your modeling roots building ye good Ol` german armor again hehehe.. Looks good dude. I already told you in the chat that the sag was too heavy and I have to agree with Carl about the wire that is going to the headlight of you tank it is too thick... further after all this nitpicking I want to say keep us updated.

I admired your skills and patience, belive IT CAN FLY ??????......... try my son's skills :-) :-)

hope to see more of the progress

I salute you
and do not forget

Now that's a sight for sore eyes. I thought we armor modelers had lost you for good after all those planes, helicopters, boats, etc. Besides the track problem mentioned above, it is looking really good Dave.

My Brother:

Looks good---as usual your PE skills are evident on Da III. Nice front fender work and of course the gun tube looks great! Keep us posted pal.


Steve

Looks good so far Waiting to see the finished work

Even if I didn't like it I'd say it was great, just to steer you away from those wingy thingies (they are the work of the DEVIL!!!!!!!), but I actually really do like it. I will be interested to see how the mud turns out after painting. Right now it looks plain awful (I suppose that's a good thing).

Nic

HI Dave ..Glad to see you back !! (I can't say much ...I'm building my first aircraft in 25 yrs) but there is nothing like a good ol Tank is there!...Keep us up to date on your progress...Hey weren't you supposed to do this for the Barbarossa build??? Getting a head start are we?? lol...
