My Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M mit Schürzen / Kursk Battle

Post by Lubomir Toman »

Hello everyone,

this is my first chat post in the armortek forum. This is my second Panzer III project. I'm building the ausf version. M - the period of the battle of Kursk. I don't have much experience with writing on the forum and i apologize for my English. I buy this kit in 2017. This year in January I started building. :wink:

I already use riveting for construction. It looks good and the connection holds tight. I use riveting pliers for aircraft repair.

This is how I converted to attach the exhaust pipes to the bottom of the engine compartment, next I created the lower engine compartment covers.

Here is my result of installing the arm on the running wheels. Arm stops and bump stops. Tapered needles. Most of the parts are made in Michal Matata.
