Tamiya Panzer III Ausf L - Full Build - Part 1 

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!

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.

Nice assembly and painting. Thanks very much for sharing.

I love the rationales for the procedures and materials. Good presentation, informative and enjoyable. Kudos and thanks.

lovely build so far, looking forward for the dio!

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.

I love the crazy ramblings 😁 Awesome job !!!!!

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 👍🏽😊

un trabajo increible, muy buen trabajo. felicidades

Very nice build and finish.

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.

Good job well done

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 👍

verry cool and nice paint work. O_O the ruber tiers ar grait !

Its a fun kit to build.. the Tamiya etch engine screens really enhance it's look...

nice build

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 #.

It's the 1/48 one?, pretty nice build btw

Tamiya is king

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!

Nice work. I am working on Takom Blitz Panzer III M and Panzer III N Diorama at kursk.

👍👍👍

love it! well done. Question though, did you have a reference photo for the colour scheme?

Hi, the light blue backing is very effective. It shows off more of your work without distraction and the colors seem to 'read' better against it. I want to see the diorama you create. Great job all around. See you next time.
