Hi Very sharp-looking vehicle. Like what you did with the wiring on the front. Are those the kit tracks or after market items? Nice camo scheme, and the tow cable looks good. Needs an antenna, but I assume that's later.

For some reason I think the Pz. III is my favorite vehicle. Don't know why this is so. Just a combination of various things about it I guess.

Take care, sgirty

looking good sgtreef! No bad points at all except there seems to be a decal on only one side of the turret??? . Still in progress? Nice neat camo. Im envious as Ive never attempted this yet! I really liked the picture of the tracks ...... really well placed with a nice sag. What company makes this one? Tamiya? Its a pity Uday wasnt around longer to point you in the right direction!! We all need all the help we can get! He still brings a smile to my face ...
What are your plans for weathering?

Very nice MK III. I also liked your photos of the MK VI; ever considered building a diorama with some of your vehicles?

Well to answer a few questions

Sgirty Fruil tracks yes antenna will be last item still working out the flaws.

Plasticbattle Yep have not finished decals as of yet letting the future dry Yep again Tamiya Panzer III Ausf L


Pnzr-Cmdr Nope still finishing it Silver will be gone in final photos again Fruil tracks no more Rubber band tracks don't care how good they are molded or if glue together or what ever Only kit that I would use the tracks from would be Dragon Panther Series rest will be Fruil.


Pzkw Thought of small in sense of space Battle of Kursk but alas unless I could do it without Figures as I am not a good figure painter would not look right.

Thanks for comments allways appreciated (++) (:-)

Well not quite as "expertly" as Uday's... #:-) ....but still a rather nice build. Panzer III's always seem to go together sweet and with only a little aftermarket just look fantastic. An envious effort my friend :-)

Hi Jeff .... EXCELLENT WORK ! ...... I really like the airbrushed pattern you put on, simple but very effective. Look forward to seeing the weathering when done. Keep us posted !

Thanks to all that commented nothing better then hearing from Fellow modelers about your work in a model

Did go back and start the final stuff will keep you posted.
okay question if I was to leave it alone no more weathering except some chips would this be good?

Really don't want a Heavy weathered model I guess I am trying to be like Tony Greenland { I wish} and his idea of not much weathering.
What do you all think? (++) (:-)

Jeff:

"Da III" looks very solid----I especially like the pic of the tracks/suspension/road wheels----the sag looks good, and you've got some nice weathering around the suspension area---impressive pic.

Good Stuff!

Keep us posted please as this one is completed.
