Added this 15mm Panzer III to my Barbarossa collection. Its the boxed sprue kit from Plastic Soldier Company, with some added stowage and battle flag for air support recognition. More pics on the blog:

Somebody sneezed on your flag. Lovely work. |

Lovely work! Did you hide the swastika, or is that the Editor's work?? |

Hi guys, and thanks for the nice comments on the model! The Swastika has been blurred intentionally by me. Rules differ in countries around the World on the publication of this symbol. So in that respect, I decided to blur it for TMP purposes, as its an international forum. |

Blurring a swastika seems a bit crazy to me. If your offended by that flag your sure as hell going to be offended by the nazi tank. If it's historical accurate it is ok. Nice work by the way. |

No, sorry chaps but Chanzy is right to be cautious, in some parts of Europe it is Against the law to publish or display a Swastika. Rant all you want about right wing freedom of speech, but its still the law. I bought a Revell U_boat kit recently (Revell=made in Germany) and the centre of the albeit tiny Kriegsmarine flag decal is blank. Check the decal sheets of other kits and you'll see what I mean. I know lots of you will be snorting into your cornflakes about wooly liberals and giving in to "the man" but I'm with Chanzy. |

Yep – sadly necessary to do this. It's annoying WW2 models can't be supplied with the correct decals but it would be hard to frame a law that excluded wargames and modelling use of the swastika etc. I am totally inoculated to any swastika shock since living in Asia. Most buddhist temples are covered in them – albeit slightly different. Anyway – really nice job. A little dark but maybe it's the photo. |
