Spent most of the day one this little beauty.Its a Tamiya 1/35 scale, painted in Tamiya acrylics and weathered with mig powders,its not finished yet but not far to go.have a look and tell me what you think.

The Tracks are from the kit the rubber type ones.the only thing i added was the grills.
Thanks for looking .
Forgot to mention that the Tank is from the Hermann goring Division Italy, around march 1944.

I like it but then my favorite chassis is the III. I have one of these kits as well but I haven't built it yet. Is that the kit barrel or did you get an aluminum one? I'm gonna build every variant of this chassis!!

I love the looks of a Pzkfw III, one of the most beautifull tanks every build, and yours is a beauty too mate!

Great job!

Hi Karl ..I love these little Panzer III's ..Just wondering if you are sure about the color of this Tank ...remeber the HG was in Tunisia before being brought to Italy so wouldn't their tanks be either dunkelgelb or a desert camo scheme? Just wondering. March 44 is almost a year after the change over from grey to dark yellow.

The III's are very cool..one of my favorite panzers. I like the track sag on the return rollers. Good job!

Looks really good. I just got one of those and I'm just waiting for the aluminum barrel to come from Great Models.

I really like the use of the MIG powders.

Like the bear, I too am wondering if the tank is grey or a darkened Pzr Yellow. The build is nice and I like the way you got those Tamiya tracks to have the sag look. Weathering is excellent
