All the 1/6 collectors that I know over here does that... all of us do that some point in time along our collecting path.

or Honey, Just one more and I promise this is the last and I will stop.

On the space 1999 eagle, I love it too. And the metal work is awesome

. Was all over the Airfix model with openable doors.

Hi Dale
The Panzer III kit will go under the bed a lot easier than
a King Tiger

The contents of the boxes (only 2) could even be put in one box when it arrives after removing the plastic packing worms

Offer to do the hoovering and she wouldn't even notice.

Mine delivered while her in doors was in Prague. What a result!!!

No additional non PZ III items in the box.

Dale,

It's not a box of bits any more as I have started to dry fit it. But I am sure I can take some snaps, anything in particular?

Hi,

Does the kit include the nuts and bolts fasteners? Reason I asked is because I have face some difficulties

sourcing M3 fasteners where I live.

Otherwise, I have to start sourcing but don't know what fasteners are required.

Hi David
All nuts and bolts are in the box as all the other kits.
It is a compleat package.

Thanks Derek for the headsup. One lesser issue for me to think about while waiting for mine to arrive.

By the way, any pics of the arrival of this baby of yours?

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to chime in and let Gill and everyone know that I got my Panzer III today - 11/11/2008! Looks like it had a safe trip to here in the US; a corner on the big box was a bit smashed, but the box appeared to have stayed shut and I don't think it had any negative impact.

Will unpack and check it tomorrow evening.

THANKS GILL!

I have just open up my Panzer III this morning I have tank number 34 . My first thoughts where how well everything is packed compeared to my Sherman . So good job on that one Gill . It must take a lot of work to get each kit packed and shipped out . All the parts look top shelf the new Machines are giving a better finish . Plus Mark is useing a lot more Alloy in the new kits which is a plus .
