Hi guys. Just wondering what the comments on Ordnance Models Panzer III interior might sound like. Accuracy fit etc. I got the Tamiya Panzer III L, Ordnance Interior and Eduard etch all for 40.00 incl. shipping so I'm hoping it's a good deal.
Also recommendations for a barrel, tow cables, and engine set are welcome and anything else that might help would also not be dismissed from the building file.

Thanks
Sean

$40 is a good deal for all that!

Engine compartements are made by CMK, Verlinden and TWS.

Cables by Karaya, Hudson & Allen.

Barrel: Jordi Rubio, CMK (although I think the kit one is fine)

The Jordi barrel is wrong so don't use that one ...The only other thing I can think of that you are going to need is a set of tracks but I guess you already knew that one! :-)

Sean,

Unless you are happy to spend the same amount you already have to get Fruil or MK, you might want to try Accurate Armour. Their Resin link tracks are good, relativly cheap and great to work with. I have a photo somewhere..

Ah, here it is..



These are the Ostketten, with the end extenders. note the open guidehorns. They need a bit of cleaning up, I don't know if the amount of flash on mine was typical or not, but nothing like cleaning up and drilling out Fruils..

Cheers
Henk
