Hi Juan,

A PzIII is by far to early era for my key interest of WW2 (late 1943-the end) so I have not the knowledge to comment the accuracy of your build but...
I must say your details look stunning!

Me as an accuracy nut head love to see another fellow builder with the same addict as myself that’s why I love to follow your build.
Keep the photos coming!

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!

Hello everyone, Christian, the bump stops are made with aluminum tube 30x15, cut to required lengths and the rest is made with Evergreen sheet of 2 mm and 3 mm PVC, the same holds for the running board brackets Steve Winstone, I have added a 20x10 tube cut to measure, and on top I added a strip of aluminum with round, I hope you understand everything right, thank you all.
