My debut build, Dragon's Panzer III N

Post by AgentG »

This is my take on Dragon's Pz III N in Tunisia. This is the kit that comes with the extended "winterketten" so I substituted a set of Tristar workable tracks. I scratchbuilt the jerry can rack The sand bags are a set from Panzer Art.

I made a small base.

Paint is Tamiya, mixed by the old Mark I eyeball. Weathering is a combination of oil, acrylic and enamels.

I like it a lot. I still need to build a PZ.III. Very well done and a very clean build. :thumb1:

Hi
Nice model, I like the fact that it is not weathered heavily therefore kit detail can be seen

I just love Dragon's Panzer III series of kits. I have a Pz III J and another N in the stash, plus a StuG III C and an F8. They are well detailed that's for sure. I have a Tamiya Pz III N waiting as well.

Johng with a kit like this I like folks to see the tank, not just what all I did to it.

Outstanding work you did there. I have the G version from Dragon and the sandbag armor thinking I would build in a DAK version. I wasn't sure if that was a good idea until I seen your build. Again I really like what you done, my hat is off to you.

Thank you sir!
That's the good thing about DAK builds. Look at period photos and every platoon, company and regiment did the same thing, only different!
The build possibilities are endless.

Lovely job Sir. Nice point about the weathering too, your level of 'dirt' makes for a very nice finish.

Nice one.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Good job on the jerry can rack, fits in superb. Also I'm a fan of the paint job as well, crisp and clear.

I worked on a Tamiya 1/35 panzer III as one of my first tanks, have got much better since then!


Really good tank! : : : :mrgreen:
