Nice work overall. The colour of the inside of hatches should be the same as the exterior colour though. The Germans recognized that the off-white interior colour compromises the camouflage scheme when a hatch is open.
I’m very new to Armour modelling and found your build very informative and interesting to follow. Many thanks for taking the time to share and explain your well honed skills. Very inspiring 👍🏽😊
I'm watching this video because I'm going to get my first 1/35 scale model kit. I recently met a 104yr old Wehrmacht veteran who was in the 14th Panzer Division. He said he was in a Panzer III. Long story short, I wanted to make a model of his tank. Excellent video, thank you!
The large color pallet of oils is nice. I had no idea what I would do with most of them, until I was working on Missouri in her MS30 series camo. I made an ocean grey wash for her to make color modulation and grime on the turrets and a few areas.
Nice build - well done. I have stayed away from vallejo paints preferring my Tamiya for cammo schemes because of ease of application but they do have a great selection of colours. Thank you for sharing.
I agree, the Tamiya paints are far superior. However, I do not like mixing colors, and I find that the Tamiya range is severely lacking in color options, which is why I turn to Mig and Vallejo. But, I'm just lazy that way! Thanks for watching!
Note: II01 would have been the 2nd Battalion Commander's personal tank. depending on the year, the Adjutant IIa and extra tank IIb followed by the Reconnaissance platoon commander in II04 would have followed. II05-II08 would be the tank reconnaissance platoon. Regimental staff followed the same but would be R01-R04 with the Regimental Recon Tank Platoon as R05-R08. Bruce Culver has the best books for anyone who wants to get tactical markings and colors right. Panzer Colors I, II, and III. I use them religiously Ist company, 1st platoon would look like this. 111, 112, 113, 114, 115. 2nd Platoon, 121, 122, 123, 124, and 125. Its ALWAY... Company#, Platoon #, Tank #.
Hi buddy great build and paint and weathering on your panzer 3 might buy this kit my self also like your idea of building the kit in sub assembly's never thought of doing that's but going to try it.keep up the good work. Cheers Gary from the UK 🇬🇧 . have subscribed 👍
Really appreciate the sub and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The kit itself is pretty nice, simple, but in the end it looks like a panzer III. I definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much for this video! I'm starting with this new hobby and this is the first set i bought. Looking forward to the assembly! Just a question; what is the name of the black primer? I don't seem to find it. (I'm ordering most colours of the set, some satin varnish and washes to start with...) Again, thanks for the explanation!
Here is a link to the primer I use: www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-249127-Painters-Purpose-12-Ounce/dp/B002BWOS7Q/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1NQPARRYBCYXN&keywords=rustoleum+2x+black+primer&qid=1673743065&sprefix=rustoleum+2x+black+prime%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-2 Hope this helps and welcome to the hobby! Always happy when we get some new blood.
Thanks for watching. I had loosely based it on a color profile I found in a book, I liked it because I hadn't really seen a yellow/red pattern before. I cannot verify its authenticity however. But, I looked cool!
@@brad9336 I wish I could remember, it was years ago I was flipping through the book in passing, just a few of the profiles stood out to me and kind of stuck in my brain. Sorry, I wish I could be more helpful.

I love the rationales for the procedures and materials. Good presentation, informative and enjoyable. Kudos and thanks.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Nice assembly and painting. Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Its a fun kit to build.. the Tamiya etch engine screens really enhance it's look...
Yeah, I wish I had gotten some PE for this one, but I still enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful! I hope to have more armor models on the channel in the future!

Awesome, best of luck on your build! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I don't always use every color, but I like to keep my options open!

It's the 1/48 one?, pretty nice build btw
Thanks! This is the Tamiya 1:35 kit.
Nice work. I am working on Takom Blitz Panzer III M and Panzer III N Diorama at kursk.
Awesome, that sounds really cool!
Hey Ellis, did you have trouble with your Pz III M road wheels? Mine had terrible fit issues.
Good job well done
Thank you so much 😀 Cheers!

love it! well done. Question though, did you have a reference photo for the colour scheme?
Thanks for watching. I had loosely based it on a color profile I found in a book, I liked it because I hadn't really seen a yellow/red pattern before. I cannot verify its authenticity however. But, I looked cool!
@HammerheadModelMaking mate, if it's out of a book, it's a reference, I reckon! Do you know the name of the book?

Tamiya is king
I like their stuff a lot.
👍👍👍
Thanks!
