Well the main assembly is finished.It took only 7 hours to do it.Next I will prep the parts for the side skirts and turret armor.There are some serious sinkholes on the inside of the skirts I will have to fill.And,well,since I will have the putty out,I will go ahead and do a field mod on the rear deck gap.
And the other side:
Constructive criticisms are requested.But I reserve the right to ignore #:-) #:-) #:-)

So tell me Carl what model is this trick Tamiya? I wonder of the build I just recieved the Revell panzer III Ausf M/N model to build with pe on the way. I think the Dragon Ausf H was a great build a Lot cheaper then Tamiya and A little more of work as to replacing wheels with stug Ausf D version but a great model over all. So,let us pigs know (++) (++) (++) (++) (++) (++)
Great job

This is a reissue of the formerly motorised Tamiya PZ IV ausf.H. It was reissued a month or 2 before the first of the new era Tamiya kits.It actually is close to being a decent kit. Add some PE,better tracks,better tools,and it would be passable. I am trying a variation on preshading,I went over some panel edges with a Sharpie marker,then when I paint,I will see if it gives a dark border.
