I dont know if anyone can help me, but does anyone have info on what thickness the gunner and loaders shutters are, and pictures of the drivers shutter of a Panzer III

thanks much

Hi bronson-

The side turret hatches were 30mm thick on all PzKpfw III versions. The drivor's visor changed from version to version.... what model III are you going to do? I have line drawings of them all - and could scan them in, if you told me which version you were after.

wow! thanks a lot! Im looking for info on a panzer IIIh

Hi bronson-

This first drawing shows the changes from the drivors visor on the E/F version to the G version. The H had the same visor arrangement as the G - only with a supplemental armor plate on the front...


This drawing shows the H visor (same as the G) with the armor plate added to the front of the superstructure. Notice the two holes drilled into the plate for the drivers viewing sight.


Hope that helps a bit- let me know if you need any more info :-)

Later-
Jeff
