Panzer III References

[Stephen White]

Your chance to acquire a definitive and hard to find set of Pz III references. I'm offering to builders of the new Pz III Ausf L release the following:

- SdKfz 141 Pz. Kpfw III by Waldemar Trojca. No longer in print, this is selling on the second hand market for upwards of £100. Includes a large selection of original manufacturer's technical drawings and two large sheets of colour schemes.

- Panzer Tracts No 3-3 Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf J,L,M & N. Again, difficult to find, this is the definitive reference for detail. Sells for around £80

- Achtung Panzer No 2 Pz III. Rare, contains a good summary of Pz III modifications and development. Sells for around £30.

- Six other reference books with drawings, pictures and detail.

- My large collection of detailed working drawings and templates, created in the manufacture of the extra detailing I put onto my Pz III. This includes a large selection of detailed photos of the Bovington Pz III. There is no original price for these, just a couple of years of time and effort to create them.

I'm looking for offers in excess of £150. Buyer pays P&P or collection from the SW of England (or I can deliver to an Armortek show).

I also have a collection of Pz III parts and resin moulds from which I cast detailed parts for my Pz III. I can list these separately if interested.

Just the job for a new Pz III owner. Pix below.

Hi Stephen,

Definitely interested in your resin parts list if you can share.

Hi, Liam, reply on its way.

Oli, thanks for your interest. These are the Pz III parts I've found so far:

- 3D printed cupola to exact scale, including the insert top panel.

- Both halves of the cupola moveable shutters and the fixed bit in between. These would need to be copied in resin for a full set. Not difficult to do and I could make them at a cost if interested.

- Complete set of the vision blocks for the inside, although you’d need to add glass and the opening flaps which I knocked up in brass.

- Silicone moulds for making the bump stop assemblies which sit behind the roadwheels and the ones for the two extra bumps on the front and rear stations.

- Moulds for making the visors on the turret hatches, both inners and outers.

I may uncover more as I dig through the workshop. Please PM me if interested.
