Yes, it is Dragon's III F. Expect a finished M4A3 and Pz.IV, soon.

Attaching the tracks was a pita. I may do a little modulation, on the turret. But, I think I am ready to call this one done. My celebratory beer is calling me.

Uh, remember that. Seems like you had Problems closing the Turret hatches aswell. So itīs getting less likely I screwed that up

Oh, and you could paint that shovel.

The tank was painted on a left handed Wednesday. They only had time to paint the shovel. All the other tools had to go as they were.

I didn't know there was a problem, with the hatches. I intended to build them open, from the start.

Anthony: Thanks. I have a bad habit of going crazy, when it comes to weathering. I just wanted this one to have a "fresh" look to it.

It was pointed out that I have the turret doors backwards. I'll have to switch those. The kit number is 6632.

Looks great. Like the restrained weathering and bits of debris on the fenders.

Thank you all for the comments. I have corrected the hatch placement, but bogged down. I need to do some touch up painting, to cover the hatches being switched. Then, it's off to eBay.
