Bill,
was the semi matte finish on your PzKW III E meant to convey a tank in the rain?

Hi Jack,
Not sure what you mean by semi-matte? The finish on this one is dead-flat including the dust coat, it depicts a vehicle in the Balkans in early summer 1941.

Great review and build...some great ideas and points to bear in mind when undertaking this kit. I usually avoid "older" kits but ,at the right price and with some judicious editing ,as you have shown, they can be made into fine looking kits.

Thanks Bill,
You have shown, once again, the benefits of paying attention to detail in this build. It is a reminder that well honed skills can turn an older kit into a work of art.
Thanks again for the feature.
Cheers,
Rick
