Gee, I hope they make them with open hatches (for a change!).

No need to hold your breath on the Panzer III being much different than the four other ones (L, Mx2, N) reviewed here on Armorama. Here's the Panzer IIIN Review. Basically, you only get the commanders hatch that is optionally closed or open. All others are moulded on.

The FlakPanther will likely be the same as the previous FlakPanther with the 37mm guns. No open hatches but at least the hull and suspension is the same as their old Panther G with quite a bit of separate tools and stowage.

Cheers,
Jan
