Panzer III almost finished
A few pics of my Panzer III, still needs the grills and maybe some more paint and weathering (numbers). I made it so the smoke will come out the exhaust. made an antenna that works, covers for the head lights, a stowage rack on the back, both MGs light with fiber optics, all new wire and moved the switches to better locations, moved the LED for the airsoft so it will light up the Commander

nice pzIII hdbeast top-marks on the weathering looks real and not over done
the stowage crate on the back is a nice addition and works well with the overall look of the tank nice one mate

great job on the weathering, antenna and stowage rack. Get rid of the white inner hatch paint!! Hatches are the same color as the outer color of the tank.

Nice one, please add a pic of your new switches location if possible.
I did more or less the same job on mine, and now I'm adding the metal upgrade to wheels and tracks

Hi borealis
I looked at what you did to your PanzerIII (Great work) and followed your lead on a lot of the mods you made, I placed my start up switch in the same location and the sound knob in the same place, just a little different mounting type. I made it smoke the same way only I used plastic and heated it to bend it to shape in one piece, (thought it was easier then the copper). The LED in the lower MG about the same just added a strip of fiber optic down the barrel to make it light up at the end of the barrel. I'm still looking for a material to make the grill for the vents and would like to find a MG like yours for the commander. Thanks for your help.
Hi pattoncomander
The last pic is for you no more white. Thanks
