Kit Review: MiniArt 35169 Panzer III Ausf. D in 1/35 

Another excellent review, thanks Adam!

Adam,great review,Happy New Year, looking forward to more informative reviews and builds in the new year from you!

Some history: The PzKpfw III D was intended to the main battle tank of the Pz. divisions but its elaborate and sophisticated design wasn't finalized until 1939. On Sept. 1, 1939 a total of only 98 Pz. III were available to the Pz. divisions (some of which contained none at all during the Polish campaign). All the initial models were withdrawn from service Feb. 1940 except for a few Ausf. D that participated in the fighting in Norway, April 1940. Nice review, thanks for posting this unusual variant.

Happy New Year sir and thank you for all the info and reviews from 2015. Nice to see a review of a miniart tank. Keep up the great videos.

Great review, and after checking the current price here in Germany it looks like a definite buy. Can't wait to see it built and hear how well it went together.

Great review. I really can't wait to see this one done as I have never built a MiniArt kit.

I have the D/B kit and recently finally found original photo proof of 2 of the 5 panzer 3 ausf Ds chassis in the Daimler Benz factory and they were ordered to use the remaining superstructure and Turrets from the 5 Ausf B that the 5 chassis were sent of the make the Stug 3B I have the serial numbers of the 2 of the 5 in the original 1940s photo docket !

Excellent review ! Good kit *Happy New Year!*

Very nice, I have the B in my stash. Looking forward to building it, but hope we do that GB at somepoint this coming year. Happy New year Adam!

Looks like a nice kit. Would look good heavily weathered with a 75mm hole in the side of the turret :) Never seen a Miniart model, thanks for the review

Nice review as usual Adam. Happy New year!

Nice to see you back - did you ever build this?

cool review Adam, to tell the truth, I love all german armor, where tiger I is king, lol. I've always wanted to build all the variants, of the panzer III, and stug, again cool review.

another great review! looks like a good kit but jeez a 1000 parts

great review, i wonder did you have a chance to compare this kit with the newer Takom Bliz series PzIII ?

Another great review Adam! Got to love the III's, right? I'm waiting for their latest SU-122, which is on its way....as soon as their SU-85 is available, I'll get one of them as well.... 👌👍👏

now that is a lot of part! eek

I am an intermediate model maker and I ask you for advice please. Is this Miniart tank very difficult to build? I mean the tracks which are the hardest part to do? Thanks a lot and good evening

Are you going to build this one? Just got the Ausf. B and looking forward to building it, waiting for some builds to see how it goes.
