Hello Lacopo,

Thank you for your comment. I like doing everything as closely as possible to the original, but all it takes me very long time. Each door takes me one day.

Have a nice new week
Michal

Hi Lacopo,

Thank you for your very nice comment. I looked your fantastic PANZER III and it is the best quality and the perfect camouflage. VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.
I finished the towing complete without the smallest details. After working on the doors it was the second most complicated part on my half-tracks. Only air connection is about 28 pieces. It was too many hours in my workshop.

Have a nice sunday

Michal

And this is the final version of towing complete with the lubrication points in grey colour. I was starting to paint the halftrack. The left side is the first.

WOW! A work truly spectacular! :shock:
With what material you're making the maquette? And then at the end you realize it with the brass or other material?
Keep it up! :wink:
Ciao,
Iacopo
