    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Bogged down with the road wheels. It's the first bit of trouble with the kit. The tires are molded separately and are designed to press fit onto the rims. Great for painting, however the fit is way to tight. You'd have to hammer them on. So I'm having to dremel the inside of the tires for a...

    Das Werk 7.5cm Pak 40 in 1/16th scale

    Looking excellent 👌

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    With Sharkmouth's research and excellent photos it appears the heatshield sheet metal dilemma has been solved! I almost wish I would've fabricated these pieces out of thinner looking material. Paul take note. It's fairly hidden under there, but if your feeling spunky....

    The kit supplied the round welded tube hanger.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Yes, this is what the kit appears to be replicating.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    We did too. 50 yrs later I didn't have nightmares this time.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Looking closer at the pic of the real one the side shields are shorter as well. Which is why the stamped shield is at the angle it is.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    That thought crossed my mind too. Sharkmouth may need to get a hold of that crew.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Yep, thats the kitty right there. Thanks James 🫡

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Well now, this is what I'm talking about! I can do bolt 🔩 castings 🫡 Thanks for the excellent pics! Ok, why is the stamped panel on this real one angled the opposite way than the drawing James shared and how the kit instructions are showing... 🤔

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Ok, got the plate turned the right way. I also drilled out and thinned the exhaust pipes more.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    I had noticed I put a curved plate that hides the mufflers upside down on the rear. Managed to get it off and glued back on the right way. I'm doing the extended engine deck version. Photos are elusive.

    Excellent pics Sharkmouth! I'm going to attempt to do that, the casting numbers

    Thanks for the pics, Paul. That poor Panzer has been through it!

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    When I google Panzer III ausf J for research it usually takes me pretty quickly to the IV. Even then, I feel lucky if I see a good butt shot of one of them 🤣

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Btw I realized I had the curved horizontal piece attached upside down on the rear hull plate. Not being familiar with the Panzer III I'm going to have to pay attention! It doesn't help that most of the assembly instructions diagrams during this phase of construction show the tank inverted. The...

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Taking my time on this build. Working on the Idler wheels and drive sprockets. I've added some texture to the smooth plastic. At this scale I think the entire tank could use some.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    Yes. The tooling on this kit is amazing.

    Panzer III Ausf J. Das Werks, 1/16 scale.

    My wife thinks it looks like a Cooty bug. With this stern design I'm committed to either the L/60 version or the Vorpanzer version.
