I'm close to being finished now and so I would just like to thank everyone for challenging me to "go the extra mile" on detailing with all their excellent build posts. I did not do all of them but I really enjoyed the process. One extra thing I did do was to remake the mantlet forepanzer to a more correct curve and width. An auto body shop helped me out by doing the bending.

Re: Pzkw III in Illinois.
Thanks Nick,
I really like your model also - particularly the supplies added in many places and the smoke generator. Your video clips remind me that it's time to get mine outside for a run. By the way did you purchase decals, make your own or paint on the numbers?
