Decided to start this model while I wait for some paints and paint booth filters come in. Tamiya panzer 3. I am not sure how I am going to paint it yet. Thinking of early/mid 40 European theatre.

Did the Pz-III have the long barreled (50mm?) gun in 1940?

wjbrandel · Sep 10, 2024

December 1941 is when they began converting the 3s to the 50mm, but from about October 1940 the 50mm were being installed to test the effectiveness of the gun from the meager source books I have at my disposal as well as all knowing google. However if someone else knows for sure let me know. I don't mind

Got a bit more done on the tank.

As you can see the linoleum monster got hungry and took the rear bump stop.

I have been using the vallejo plastic putty to fill minor seams and imperfections. So far I like it.

Are you going to paint it 'fresh from the factory' or give it a rustic/battle-damaged look?

I thinking field use with the weathering but no battle damage so to speak. Of course that can change when my clumsy fingers break a part or two

Indeed!

Turns out there's more than one kind of battle damage, some planned, some not.
