I am just about done with construction on the previous Pz.Kpfw III M version. I have to be honest I was disappointed with the kit. It was plagued with engineering issues throughout the build. What should have been simple task, like assembling road wheels took an enormous amount of effort due to poor fit. I was surprised by the amount of flash present on a newly tooled kit as well. I do hope that this kit has seen some improvements over the M. I have spoken with a couple of other people who've build the M and their experience mirrors mine.

Isn't the first kit an M? Reviews have been mixed, I'll have to build mine to see for myself. An N was a logical move after the M.

Yes, You are correct. It was the M. I misspoke. But, that is the kit I built. I had L on the brain from the Tamiya kit i bought yesterday. I do hope that your experience was better than mine with the M.

Same here Kenneth. The worst part is that the flash is often inauspicious so you don't know you need to work on it.
