An Abridged History of the Panzer III in 1/32

Post by PanzerArm » Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:02 pm

Something I always thought would be neat to do would be to make every version of Germany's Panzer III by modifying the 21st Century mold in varying degrees. I am still far from accomplishing that goal. I am using the stock 21st ausf. E/F and have made 3 more of the eight production models (currently working on another) but I have enough now to generally show everyone how the Panzer III changed over the years.

Kevin,

You have more talent in your smallest finger than I have in my whole body. :)
