Excellent! Looks like it was just driven out of the paint shop before heading off for the transport depot. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Crap! gee thanks...now i feel bad about my recent paint job which is of similar style but on a PzIV F2. I don't have an airbrush though and hand painted it so now it looks bad compared to yours. Oh well guess its time for a PzIII so i can copy your awsome job!
I'm just kidding by the way, great job it looks terrific! Mine i just use the excuse it was painted in the field with mops [X(]

The colours I used were Tamiya acrylic dark yellow TS-3 in a spray can and Humbrol 117 enamel green (airbrushed). Pastel chalk was put on to add a dusty look and the whole lot sprayed with flat clear acrylic. The tracks were airbrushed metalic gray Tamiya XF-56. I used a wash of a rust colour on the low points in the tracks.
