Looks really good Oz. How much metal are we talking about?

hi mate, i,m putting on tracks sprockets idlers wheels suspension tensioner and barrel, inside gets a rx18 and metal gears,
later on a crap load of stowage and a new figure, i was gonna put on schurzen but i don't think this one had any...........tony

The full monty eh? Sounds great. PM sent re plans for my Pz III.

Cheers

I saw this one last week at the Washington club - and it's a stunner! If you think it looks good in the photographs then seeing it in the metal is 10 times better.

That dunkelgrau finish with its subtle weathering is spot on Tony. All the extras you've done, like the weld seams, wiring and stowage racks really make that model.

I'm going to have to re-do my Panzer III in dunkelgrau now!

Thats a great paint job, subtle and effective. It takes a lot of effort to achieve that, well done!

Hi Oz the panzer 3 with schurzen was the ausf L,M&N the M also had a different exhuast the Nhad the short barrel 75mm .Its looking a very nice job with all those metal bits on it it will run nice to .

thanks for the support guys, i dont know a lot about the Pz III so can someone tell me what mark it is   

Hi Tony,

HL market it as a Pz III Austf. L. As far as schurzen etc it's up to you. Some of them had schurzen and some of them didn't. The advantage of fitting shurzen is it hides the return rollers which are the wrong height. But as you are fitting all metal running gear I'm assuming you are going to do the return roller mod.

Cheers

Hi At the moment its an L .
