 Ive been Eying this sucker for months in my lhs so yesterday i finally got it for just €50 it was listed for €63 not worth that so i was happy to pay what i did. Any how its been staring at me since i brought it home so i had to start it, i dint want to do a new build but meh im weak  Not much pics to go on the net except the only surviving one in Kubinka museum in Russia, im going to try put some cast texture on the fighting comp and hopefully i wont make a dogs dinner of that, This should be a Quick enough build as there is only 16 steps, i will most likly use the winterkettern tracks i have for this one from an other build, so Yes another W/W from me ....there seems to be a theme here...  will get some pics later so Hang tough |

Looks like a good one Spud! I have the older kit sitting on the bench languishing away. Was thinking about doing the same with whitewash and winterketten.

I think I got that at a discount and not full price Spud.
Since i've got a one track mind and don't buy anything but SPGs I can afford a book once in a while. ;D
Yell if you need anything

Hey Spud! Looks like a great kit. I built the Cyber Hobby version for Andy Deafpanzer's Pz III GB. It was an enjoyable build and you can't beat them big 'slab-sides' for some pro weathering! I looked into this one and it definately has the stamp of a newly tooled Dragon kit. I'll look forward to seeing this one come together. Here's my attempt (Cyber-Hobby):  Ben |

Looking forward to the continued W/W theme...this is your year for them! This is one of my favorite "ugly beast" designs and those huge slab sides ought to provide a lot of canvas to play with. |

Off and rolling with this one spud! Nice work on the suspension...fingers crossed that you have better luck on this one vs. the Panther, I hope you've "swept" the workbench for mines beforehand? |

Nice tracks Spud! That's a bit strange for DML to provide NO location help at all on the fenders...I guess they felt that the overlap of the casemate made those things unnecessary? Who knows why DML does half the things they do in kits at times! |

Friul tracks especially the winterkettens are one of best things ever I have seen in my life... LOL Looking good there...
