Re: Panzer III
The jerrycans are now painted and, I hope, suitably distressed.
One observation - I used a chipping undercoat made by AK Interactive. The yellow cans were top coated with Tamiya paint and the grey ones with Vallejo. When dampened to enable the top coat removal, the Vallejo paint was much more responsive. It was much more difficult getting the Tamiya paint off, whereas the Vallejo almost came off too easily.Richard

Re: Panzer III
I have now fitted pretty much everything I can think of, so I am (at least for the time being) calling this one finished, if one can ever say that.

Re: Panzer III
I can't take any credit for those. I bought the tank from Spartan Tracks, who did the DAK paint scheme and battle damage.c.rainford73 wrote:Also a big fan of the battle damage to the stowage bin and the dak markings
