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

I don't think that they are actually tires so much as bonded solid rubber around the wheels.

correct.

Pzr III looking excellent. great work on the soft beat -up. Those rear mud guards were 2 part - the top folded over a shorter flap that was angled inward on both sides and shorter in length. If you wanted to go a bit further here are some examples.

Thanks Ian. I tried to separate the flap from the guard. It's glued real good

Somebody took some pot shots at the commander.

Looks like Das werk didn't skimp with the view ports detail. Building the cupola is going to be quite fun.

I got nothing but did send a message to Hilary Doyle as I don't know which hull penetration was used.

I received a message from Hilary.

"Hi Saul, Sorry to take this long to answer. It has been a bit hectic here and on top I had to have some eye surgery so a bit slow. For the Ausf.J they had a penetration through the front plate directly under the headlight - then cables heading from there to the items on the trackguards. You can see it on the attached photo of a wreck."

Nice, so it's right under the actual mount so no extra plumbing needed. Nice job Saul!
