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.
The numbers are temporary inkjet paper cutouts. I'm still trying to figure out if the Windhund Div. had any "L" models just after D day and what they might be numbered.

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?

Hi Lawrence

Your Panzer III is excellent! You must be very pleased.

Great job on the mantlet's stand-off armor. One very nice looking Panzer. Thanks for sharing it.

kind regards
Tim
