Modeller Build Logs

Getting down and dirty with the Tamiya Pz. III

When Paul asked for a volunteer to build Tamiya's Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. N I jumped at the opportunity. I have always been fascinated with this versatile workhorse of the German army. This blog will cover topics such as soldering photo-etch, applying white-wash camouflage, and heavy weathering. For this project I will use the following kits: Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. N #35290 Aber Panzer III Ausf. J #35290 Aber Covering to model plastic fenders for PzKfw III Sturmgeschuetz III #35 A27 Modelkasten Pz. III/IV 40cm links (early model) My main reference for this build will be "Achtung Panzer No. 2 Panzerkampfwagen III"
