PzKpfw III Ausf. E

[f matthews]

I wanted to work up a relatively quick build (@1 month or so) to up my output for the year since I'm a little behind in my goal of averaging one completed project per month.

The newer-tooled Dragon Panzer and StuG III kits are really nice and are fairly straightforward and well-detailed.

This one is getting close to the finish line, just needing a few small details and the tracks before I add it to a display base.

That looks very nice .... the weathering and camo brown are very subtle.

It looks good, especially paintwork.

Tracks, tow cable, and some other final details added.

The tracks are Miniart 38cm early Panzer III/IV workable tracks.

That looks great Frank. Question; your photos are excellent, ie; the whole of the model is in focus, so what camera do you use?

According to Flickr, it's an iPhone 14 Pro. Which explains a lot, as the tiny sensor results in an inherently large depth of field.

Saw this one on your insta page. Great build. The grey brown camo works so well! Cracking job once again!

Thanks so much!

I'm running out of Grey/brown subjects I think...  I'm trying to work chronologically through the Panzer II, III and IV marks/Ausfs, so this is at least the last of the IIIs that I haven't at least started (I have an Ausf. A underway that's been sitting a while).

A huge box just arrived that will be my largest grey/brown scheme project though.  I just got Gecko's 1/16 Panzer II from the French Campaign, so I may have to reorder some brown paint!

Wonderful looking little Panzer !!

Masterclass. Weathering is superb - just like the rest of your build.
