That's not exactly a new piece - those have been out in my area for months, at least since the late summer. It came in a case with repaints of the 32x King Tiger and a very nice repaint of the Panzer IV H with sideskirts.
I do agree, however, that it is a nice paintscheme for the Panzer III

Then the Panzer III's from those cases must be collecting dust in the back room somewhere at my favorite Wally Tman, because the KT and PZ IV both showed up there months ago, go figureIt came in a case with repaints of the 32x King Tiger and a very nice repaint of the Panzer IV H with sideskirts.

Re: Questions
A Panzer III at Kursk would still be painted Panzer Gray, and even if it were Dunkelgreb, it doesn't match the Mustard Yellow used by the DAK..metalwar wrote:Two quesions on this version. Would brake fluid remove the decals and is the paint color close enough to use it for a dio at Kursk or should it be repainted?

at kursk it would almost 100% for sure be dark yellow as the order to repaint armour to the new three colour standard came just before Kursk and was pretty strictly followed. But as HW says, completely wrong shade for this Dak Pz III to be a Russian front Pz III. Dark yellow(dunkelgelb) is a medium greenish yellow colour whereas the Dak colour is a light orangey brown.
