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:

Great work and a total of 7 hours :-) Impressive!
Question: Are you planning to use uday's camo scheme? I do think it was known as the "Senf und Scheiße" camo scheme, used toward the end of the war #:-)
Oinkers! (++)

Sorry 'bout that Carl (aka Lord TC of the quick panzer build) :-)
I guess I've been sniffing too much glue... #:-)

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

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.
