Panzerkampfwagen III and variants

[zak]

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.

[zak]

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

Is it the Luchs light tank??
Andy.

[zak]

No, its a bit bigger than that.

[Bob C]

Is it the Panzer 38t.

[zak]

No, afraid not.
Keep trying!

[councilman]

Type 1 heavy???
Andy.

[zak]

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

[councilman]

And its a tank???

Correct, well done that man.

[chriswil42]

Checked my book on tanks before giving an answer.

[zak]

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.

[zak]

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.
