Panzer III AUSF. J from the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection at Ft. Benning

I really like the camo on this one.

Surprisingly good shape for something made to be shot at and is well over seventy years old

Ya, got some keys? Let's make a midnight run of it, anyone else game? I love it!

Man I've got to get myself over there for sure.

That is a thing of beauty right there.

Cool! Always love the walk-around pics. I always find it interesting how they label these things. It is certainly not an Ausf J hull. It really looks like a mash up of what was laying around and some possible upgrades (like the L/60 and turret skirts) if it was around that long. That left drive sprocket looks like it should be carrying the early narrow tracks. Anyway, I've been doing a triple Panzer III build for the last few months. An old Dragon Imperial (H), Dragon Smart Kit (H) and RFM (J). I just wanted to see the differences in detail, etc., over the years. If I get a few spare moments I'll start posting a build log - like the good old days. LOL

Yea there are several items in the collection that aren’t quite labeled correctly.

Very cool. Thanks for all of the pics Brian.

Thanks, I have at least 1000 more of different tanks from the collection.
