I threw accuracy to the wind, but am pleased with how this one is coming together.

Looks great! And I don't even know where the innacuracies are.

Nice looking build. iirc the kit is from their SmartKit series and those Pz.III/StuG III kits go together beautifully. I've built a couple and have several more in the stash...they're always a good sanity check after I build something that fights me the whole way

I like what you've done with the color scheme. A lot of people go for a very dark grey which might be prototypical but in 1/35 it turns the model into a black hole that sucks light and masks detail. Lightening it up like you've done, makes the model much more visually appealing.

Looking forward to seeing the completed model.

Looks excellent. You've really done a great job on the grey color, which can be quite hard to do. Well done Sir.

Nice! I also like the lighter grey and the modulation. Make an otherwise dull dark vehicle much more visually appealing. And while it may not be "accurate," it is after all the artistic side of our hobby that makes your Pz III unique.
