Panzerkampfwagen III and variants
« on: October 10, 2020, 03:57:00 PM »
I will change the title when you get it.

This is a different kettle of fish to the Tamiya kits.
In this kit all the suspension is made up of many parts, unlike Tamiya where it is all moulded on the chassis.
So here are some pictures, the spring is made from 3 parts and the bit above is also 3 parts.
the bottom picture shows the assembled spring.
So lots of bits to stick together.

It is a tank, but what sort, it is German, if that helps.

Here is a bit more, this just shows the number of bits needed to make part of the suspension.

Only another 3 to assemble.
I think I'll go and have a lie down.

No, but here is the first side, after much muttering and under the breath swearing.

This is the PzKpfw II D/B from MiniArt and as you can see lots of bits to keep me busy, this one will take a bit longer I feel.

I have just about completed the suspension on one side.
Lots of small and intricate parts, including some etched brass.
It probably looks better the right way round.
