The UK's weather is messing up my painting schedules, the shed just isn't the place to be this time of year, so working inside….. I'm working through the mods needed to convert an AGN (1/56)Panzer into the early war command element, have posted the story board so far up on my blog, comments welcome troopofshewe.blogspot.co.uk

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still remembers AGNM is still around! I love the quality they produce.

ps, if anyone can reference what the raised details are at the front of the turret roof are I'd be grateful

Perhaps some form of bullet/ fragment deflection

The "dotted" lines

There are two lines of seven bolts each along the front edge of early Pz III turret roofs, I reckon that they've been misinterperated as dashes on the model. They appear as round recesses, as the bolts hold items in the turret interior. BTW, love your work! -Kosta

You can just see what Super Mosca is talking about in this piture. Line drawing:

Excellent, the misinterpretation seems plausible, i surmised they may have been representing tie downs or similar. Either way I will remove them and drill some blind holes, only problem is this is a troop of three!
