Pz III Rommelkiste Turret Bin Assymetry

Post by Stephen White »

Looking at the Bovington Pz III at Tankfest yesterday, it began to dawn on me that the turret bin is assymetric ie the left and right side profiles are different. I think the photos below show what I mean. I'll take this into account when I come to make the box.

Stephen,

Good EYE!


I just got out my dividers and measured off the Kiste in "Panzer Tracts 3-3" and as you said, it is assymetrical there too, though I had not noticed it either.

I suppose it is because of the pistol ports?

Thanks for pointing it out,

Brian
