Panzer III, trying to be creative
Took a couple of photos in the snow. I know the fire extinguisher should be grey but I used artistic license 
. Also I noticed I haven't toned down the spare wheels, shiny plastic.

Re: Panzer III, trying to be creative
What is that " jewelry box " on the port side? My tauchpanzer 3 has one also. Weird.

Re: Panzer III, trying to be creative
Lol, everyone needs a place to keep their bling. I think I'll repaint it at some point to a wooden box.

Re: Panzer III, trying to be creative
The fire extinguisher came in 2 colours Green or desert sand and the "Jewelry box" is a Jack block.
I think I am about to upset someone 
Re: Panzer III, trying to be creative
It's a solid wooden jacking block. It would be placed on the ground under the jack so that it didn't sink into the ground under the weight of the vehicle. Just about every German tank had one.michaelwhittmann wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 6:17 pm What is that " jewelry box " on the port side? My tauchpanzer 3 has one also. Weird.

Re: Panzer III, trying to be creative
Went online and found photos of the fire extinguisher and tried to match the color as best I could, same for the jacking block. I think it looks much better. Thanks for everyone's help!
