Overall, I like it a lot. It's eyecatching, and you have some interesting details throughout. I especially like the shell hit at the front fender. Two spots that bug me are the bucket on the back fender seems to be floating like a balloon, like it's weightless, and some of the extra track on the front looks like it would fall off the first bump they ran over.
Those two small items aside, Bravo! A very nice model!

Really nice overall. My personal nitpick is that I don't like the way the bucket is hung on the light.

Looks trerrific... My suggestion is to do some dusting of the runnig gear: in the pictures, both the rubber tyres and the sprocket seem too shiny...

FlorianZ,
I agree with the last comment about the running gear. I would brush on some pastel dust or some MIG pigments to tone down the shine of the tires. I would also recommend the same thing for the tracks. I believe the process would actually help "unify" the whole bottom half of the tank.
These are only suggestions. FYI you did a great job on the paint work (and photography).

Excellent Florian. Brilliant weathering and very realistic the way some items are thrown on the back in a happ-hazard way. Just the way I like weathering ... looks heavy and dirty, but not losing any of the detail .... accentuating them if anything!
As the handle is also metal, it has no "give", so when hung like this, the bucket cannot move (or swing about). It may look odd, but is quite realistic in this respect. Unfortunately, its one of those time when artistic license would win, over reality.
Maybe its going onto a scenic base or diorama, with snow and wet weather???? Then this effect will look more natural.

thanks all for the nice comments ! Really pleased me ! I know the problem on the modell with the tracks. The fruil tracks look better and real than magic tracks. I biuld a little scene at the time and I update the last work on the mark III in few days. I applied snow and mud on the tracks and i hope nobody can see the difference 
I hope a few Modelers even know what to write
I think the running gear is okay. The tank is used in a very cold climate. If the groundwork completed I put the last mud and dust effects not color differences emerge with groundwork and the tracks.
Regards to all out there !

I like this one a lot. Great execution of weathering especially on the upper fenders. Beautiful color balance and excellent sense of scale on the weathering.

great looking kit. I like the stowage box on the rear deck. Where did you get it? Ive got a PzIIIG started and a PzIIIE waiting for the Blitzkrieg campaign.
there is something about these PzIII's that makes them special. Anyone else agree?

yep i agree , i think they do have a lot of character over a lot of other tanks. you can also do a lot more with them.

I think it came out real nice. That bucket does look like it is about to fall off though. Good job.
