Panzer III Ausf J

[jknaus]

Started this today. Did 2 sessions and this is what I have got done. All the road wheels, drive wheels are done also. Start on the deck next.

Think this will be a Wiking vehicle. Schwartz Grau for sure.

Nice PanzerIII, James! Very good details, I guess it's from Dragon. I'm going to get a Panzer III soon, it's 1:16 scale from Heng Long, second-hand and painted. It'll be 1 of 5 1:16 armors I get early this year. Yesterday I got Jagdpanther and StuG and in a day or two I'll get Panzer III, Tiger I and M-26. These are radio-controlled and they're fun to play. I really like the recoil action. When I fire, not only the gun recoils but also the whole tank too.

Awesome start very clean build!!!





I'd love to get a BIG StuG III. Heng Long is not known here in my part of the US... I ask my LHS and they are "???" but then, they were like that when I asked them for RLM 66 paint...

JAMES ,

Good start ! Keep on-a-rockin !!!

Having a heck of a time with the fenders and upper decks. I finally got all the fiddly small stuff on and nothing lines up very well. Tore off the glacis plate and rear deck and now have the fenders on. But everything is just a hair out so the rear deck etc wont sit properly. Will be a fight.
Pics shortly.

Building it and discovering a problem then tearing it apart and back together again is how I do it too :laugh:... Nice save though looking good.

Uh ! Tough break JAMES ! I hate it when that happens ! You'l get it ! Keep on rockin' !!

 

[Kreighshoer]

problems or not, you're doing a great job on a marvellous subject james!

 

[mlp]

good start

 

[jknaus]

Thanks everyone. I think I'll work on the turret today just to keep the momentum going. Then revisit the upperdeck and maybe I'll have more luck with it. I'll tell you one thing though. Next time I will put the hull and upper deck together before adding all the little thingies because everywhere I grab I knock one. Worried I'll send some flying.
