Yes, decal and assembly instruction are included.  Sample painting guide at back of box, but you should also research more painting scheme on the internet or publications.

Good show!  Glad to see there is an option for no spaced armour on the III turret

Sorry Porkmann, you will be disappointed... we have overlooked the rendering until the box are printed.  However, we have plans to do another Panzer III variant... this time without the spaced armour!

Ah!  Nothing is perfect.  I will use Blitzkrieg Js for my Ns with your gun in place of the L/60.

Are the "normal" twin mufflers included?  The wading version was very much an M feature.

I am an Ostfront player so I like the M but find it a weird choice as it was not a common model.  Being used mostly in the East with a few in Italy and perhaps Tunisia. 

A J/L/N kit would have been my choice  but you are to be applauded for your efforts!

Porkmann: Both the Panzer IV and III are our first two kits (done almost a year ago), even though we have done a lot of research, we still find a lot of inconsistencies afterward.  For the latter kits, a cross reference system was setup to ensure more historical accuracy.

This is also one of the reasons why we setup this forum.  The forum is a good tool for us to show our WIP projects and to enable people who are interest in our projects to give advice and to point out the obvious...  We want to create something we are proud of!

Unfortunately the Panzer III do not have the twin mufflers included.  A simple conversion should do the job.  But we are working on a StuG III Ausf. G, which had the normal mufflers... (oops! secret is out!)

Rubicon that is one reason I am looking forward to these, plastic is so much fun to convert and tinker with!

Just wish I had a few to review!

Just wanted to say that your box art is really good - well done.  I hope you can keep up this standard, as it's way better than many more established companies' box art.
