Panzer III Ausf. C

[f matthews]

Here is the next installment in my building of all of the Panzer III variants-the Ausf. C.  This is Miniart’s Ausf. C kit built largely out of the box other than the tow cable, which is about the only thing not included in the kit.

The common impression is that the Germans (and then the Soviets) cake-walked through Poland in 1939, but the Poles put up a fierce resistance and destroyed or damaged a large number of German tanks. I wanted to model this one as a German tank that took fire and was disabled while attacking in a Polish city.  That allowed me to use the excellent kit tracks to full effect.

Wow, this is fantastic! One of the best renditions of RAL 7021. Weathering is beautiful.

Perfect work.

The Panzer Grey is Lifecolor and the Brown is Vallejo Air Dunklebraun.

A few of the Ausf. C with the Ausf. D.  Similar but different.
