1/72 PzKpfw III Ausf. L.

July 30, 2023 · in Armor · · 3 · 223

This is my first tank build since high school - appropriate since attending last summer. It's a early 1943 Eastern Front version of a - kit. The paint went on a little dark, and I tried to lighten down with washes and dry brushing.

The scale is microscopic, but that's fine by me - it's in scale with my aircraft and takes up very little display space so I can explore a number of different subjects. I have a IV in my stash and will eventually add a 131 Tiger since I have lots of detail photos of that vehicle from our visit.

We got to see a slightly different variant at TankFest - including watching it in action in Kuwait Arena.
