Hi all
A rarely photographed version of the Pz. III familytree. I was inspired from a photo in a book about the Tiger tank, where some of these pionerpanzers were used as munitionsträgers. I think they really looks different, with all that bridging and pioner equipment stored on top. It's the Pz. III from Tamiya, with some modyfication, the small bridges are from AFV Club, and the larger ones are made from Evergreen plasticcard. All the ammo, boxes, jerrycans, etc. are from the spare boxes.
Please do comment.
Jacob

(Yes Bill, from a book )

That's a very cool and nicely done take on the Panzer III Jacob! I'm not sure what the figure is doing though, he looks a little on the crazy side just standing there with his hand in his pockets and looking up into the sky with a big grin like that, unless that's not a grin and he's bewildered or something along that line?

Jeremy: While waiting for the last couple of Tiger I's to get back to the ammopoint, the guy is watching an ongoing dogfight, and his team's winning. This explains the smile on his face, and eys, after three years on the eastern front, he might also be a little crazed
