Okay to recover from Fokker burn out and while I wait for a new engine I will scratch the armour itch with a Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf M mit 3.7cm Flak 43

This is an almost maybe what if. No one knows if any were produced that I can find. It was created to protect the Stug Abtelungs by mating the Ostwind turret with a Stug III or PzIII.

Here is where I am so far.

Some minor things so far. In the muffler instruction 2 part numbers are transposed. A9 and A10.

Another thing I found was there is no clear locator for part a7. I glued mine in place and found it caused fit problems. I could remove it though as the glue wasn't fully set. I recommend letting it float until the exhaust and rear panel are mated then gluing it in place.

Also when you put the aft section on there are a bunch of stubs on the chassis. The aft section doesn't fit with them on. They even have them in the instructions. I removed mine and they fit better.

Comments welcome.

:popcorn Nice little tank you found there James,
I'm still amazed that they can't make an instruction that's correct :idonno don't they testbuild the kits after the instructions?

Not just Cyberhobby, Dragon and Miniart and Bronco are good at that to, Nice kits but then they put together a mediocre instruction :stinker
I will follow along and see how it turns out :drinks
