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

The rear assembly needed some trimming to butt up against the hull sides, but it's on with the first bit of PE. I've also put a few links of the track together. It is the next step.

Looking good Tim!

Always like the Panzer III and Stug III tanks. My first tank model was a 1/32 scale Stug III I believe was put out by Monogram. Have no idea what happened to it.

Have managed to get my Pak 40 all sand color. Need to assemble the shield on it now and add final details with paint touch ups. Then camo and heavy weathering and dirt. Had no trouble with spraying the Vallejo. Can spray real thin lines if I want but was laying it on with light coats or at least trying to do light coats. The paint went on nice and smooth with no trouble at all. Never could get it to flow that well with my Badger brushes.

I'm using an Iwata HPCS with the standard 3.5 needle. It does well with the Vallejo, once I figured out how it wants the paint thinned and bumped up the air pressure. My Stepdaughter bought me a set of Golden airbrush paints for general non military modeling. They spray well, but when they clog in the airbrush it's like trying to dig rock. Also very hard to get the dried paint cleaned out of the cup. Going to have to see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe they aren't supposed to be thinned with water either.
