Now we’re talking!  This is a variant of the Panzer III that I really want.

I need at least three kits to start: E (37mm) for Poland, and F (37mm) for France, and a G (50mm) for Russia. I don't have a DAK force yet, but that will entail yet another Pz III need, likely more than one!

Looks great. G (or F w. 50mm) is what I'm most looking forward to for my DAK, as well as the right (early... -ish) N version for the Tiger units in Tunisia.

Re: The Panzer III Digital Library - eDrawings almost done! 181006

eDrawings for our Panzer III project are almost completed, with the only exception of some specialised variants (hint, hint ;)).

Right now, we have 8 variants from Ausf E to Ausf N. With some minor historical changes on specific variants, we have a total of SIXTEEN possible variations...

YES, 16 possible builds for our new Panzer III!  Can you spot the differences?




Enjoy!

Although an eight wheeled version would have been fun, nothing to complain about here.

Re: The Panzer III Digital Library - Finalizing 3D Drawings 181110

Another month had passed, we had now completed all 3D drawings on the Panzer III... awaiting final approval before 3D prototyping.

There is a total of 8 Panzer III variants (Ausf E to Ausf N). Each of the variants might include different guns, up armour, and minor upgrades, including Command Tank version. This had increased the total possible builts to TWENTY (20) variants for our project!

Depending on the final number of sprue and parts layout, not sure how many of these 20 variants will remain on the final release...



Enjoy!

I have plenty of late versions of the Panzer III (in plastic of course) in my 1:56 (28mm) WW2 collection, and I cannot wait to start adding these earlier versions of the Panzer III.  :)

Fantastic! Barbarossa all the way for me, so this is great news! I'll be buying a platoon of five.

WOW ! What an improvement over the original III . The tools and tow cable stand out on the kit , separate pieces to glue on ? Also the Jack is very much improved . It looks the part now not just a " what is that supposed to be " blob on the old III . The hatches on the nose of the new III should have the armored hinges as shown on the old III . CAD slip I hope , no III had hatch details like that in any of my reference books . Not liking the turret and bow machine gun barrels , but I've replaced almost all the barrels on my 20 odd German tanks with plastic barrels from BA infantry sets . Still not too sure on the road wheels , something about them looks funny to me . The stress hole spacing , or maybe the thickness of the rim between the steel  and the rubber tire , just something  bugs me ....maybe it just needs to be painted  ::)
