Hi,
Now I'm starting with next model, in 1/72 scale. My favorite fighting vehicle, which is Pz.Kpfw III Ausf. M. I will use fantastic Revell kit. Moreover, I want to add more sets with PE element, barrels.
My Panzer III probably will be in such painting. The tank from 2PzDiv fighting in the summer 1943.

First pics from the workbench.
Best,

Mateusz,
Looking good so far. Nice clean job. I like how you've rendered the track sag.

P.S. Do you think you mite be interested in joining us for a little braille build fun? There's a
Braille Battlefield Campaign going on right now that runs until May of next year. I think that your build may just fit in? Will have to check out the
Campaign Rules to be sure. So how about it?

Track sag is excellent. I believe the top run is a full length? If that is the case how did you create the sag without having gap issues?

I used hair dryer and shaped the sag by fingers. It stretched at all.
A little progress...A few PE elements added. I also used 0,25mm sheet styrene to build the frame on the back plate.

Little progress. M3 Lee is ready to paint. Mirage kit took me more time to get all elements together. They doesn't fit as well as Revell tank. What's next? Terrain, figures...maybe something else.
Best,

Mateusz,
Great progress on the Panzer III. The photo-etch looks fantastic, you did and excellent job with it and so neat! Your diorama and the M3 are coming along nicely too. Where did you get the figure from, looks resin and so well detailed?
Keep up the good work. looking forward to seeing more.

I have two of these Pz III M kits waiting to be built - it's nice to see a blog about it. I'll have to have a go at that track sag as it looks superb, and you're making me think about getting a set of those brass schurzen...
Did all Pz III M have turret schurzen? I know not all had the side plates (as your model), but I am wondering if it would be accurate to do a III M without schurzen brackets at all.... If not, would it just be the same as an L fitted with the deep-wading exhaust?
Again, great looking build. Thanks for sharing!

Nice dio you are preparing there Mateusz. Just one comment.
I am not an expert when it come to tracks but maybe the end of the loose track that is hanging between the 2nd and 3rd return roller of the sherman should be pointing downwards due to it's own weight?
Anyway it's getting along nicely.
P.A.
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

The tanker is from Preiser set and head is resin.

Feel free to build Pz III M without any schurzen plates. There are several photos such panzer's.

You are right, but it haven't fixed to the M3 LEE yet.
Thanks for all comments. Next up-date soon....

Also it would be more dramatic if you showed the Lee with it'screw hatces open (abandoned due to it's throwen track)

I like those Preiser figures, they look like they are very well detailed. Nice work on both tanks so far, Mateusz. I look forward to seeing the diorama complete.

Go ahead, I have finished the cottage in 90%. The small villege house was painted by acrylics and I have made rains using MIG oils, but they aren't visible on the photos. It must be improved in the future.
I made the thatch usnig hair from makeup brush.

Grass, brushwood and the other have been planted. Let's paint it for less bright green tones.
Best,
