Hey everybody. Finally! After years of waiting…… Plastic Soldier Company's 15mm Panzer III ausf J, L, M, N, (and Flame). This kit shows that PSC has been listening to what people are saying about their kits. Instead of a five piece running gear assembly, this kit has one piece running gear.
The commander's hatch and cupola has been redesigned to fit easily together.
The large sink hole that was on top of the 5cm gun housing is gone. Short cuts were taken in that they used the early style rear engine deck with armoured smoke candle box and the early style turret. Both of these problems can be cured with a sharp knife if one cares to.

very disappointed with the tracks' lack of detail. |

Ditto. Cannot make everyone happy I guess. Wondering if the earlier suspension components can be adapted? That would put the pricing in the range of metals, eroding one of the advantages of plastic. Would love to see PSC do a special sprue, even if it is only on their website, with the multipart style suspension. Damon. |

Lovely kit! Personally I think the tracks are just fine, the main thing for this cack-handed wargamer is the one-piece tracks making for ease of assembly. If there is one little thing I'm fussy about its correct 'track sag', and they have got that just right! |

I think the tracks look fine when painted and weathered on such a small model…

Excellent! Only issue I have is that they aren't 28mm. :) |

Just in time for my finishing a bunch of BF ones. Of course these look better. |
