Pic of my first tank and questions
I just got into this hobby and bought a HLPanzer III. I firstpaintedall the cornersblack, then gave it a light coat ofTamiya Red Brown. Next was some Tamyia Dark Yellow mixed with a littleKhacki so it wouldn't be too shiny. I need to go over it 1 more time with the Dark Yellow to get rid of some of the remaining grey that you can see is still showing. So tofinish it off I wantedto get some PEparts. Where can I get them forthe Panzer III? I reallywant to replace some of the tools anddefinately need grills for the exhaust.Also, I see abunch ofscale German flags onthe tanks in the gallery. I've seen them at tankzone.co.uk but anyplaces in the US? Give me any advice to make my tank lookbetter, but like I said it's still in progress.
Lastly, my next tank will be an HLJagdpanter. Any good websites to buy that from? Thanks for any help!

You can't go wrong with buying from Bill at RCCommand. he has a lot of what you are talking about and is the best there is here in the states. He has been constantly been adding to his inventory and is a member of this forum.

You Sir are off to a fine start. I agree with your plan for add on parts like PE, and the like. One tool that is vital is your research material.
As for vendors of parts. ETO is great
