Nice work, it's a tank that has lived, and worn by the fights

It turned out beautifully. The only thing I don't like is the not replaced barrel and and track links embossed with "Taigen" letters

Thanks Kaczor, I don’t like the Taigen logos on the track link’s either, I will be removing them & I will have a look at fitting a more accurate gun barrel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers Martin

I used that barrel on my HL Pz III. It was my first 1/16 model and there was almost no weathering

Great looking Panzer III you have. Any idea if the recoil & flash will still work with that gun barrel ?

[Kaczor]

It's already sold to my friend but I used standard Taigen recoil with no problem. Barrell is too thin for Xenon flash. Probably the the best solution would be solder smalled SMD LEDs to fit inside.
