So I am Curious as to Warlord's Panzer 3 kit. Specifically this one: link So it Says Itlaeri on the box as well adding to my confusion. Italeri I know has some 1/48 kits but this one is marked as 1/56. So is it truly 1/56th? If so it looks to have Schurzen and I am wondering if these could work well on my Bandai Pzr 3 1/48th? As it stands Schurzen from some other company like Hauler or whatever are expensive and what not. Also not wanting to buy this one just for Schurzen. So what do you guys think? Would those work on my Bandai and if not anyone know of any other options? JH |

Warlord's kits are indeed 1/56 even though they are manufactured by Italeri. I believe they would be too small for a 1/48 kit. |

Big Red--Thanks. Yeah that is what I gathered. and they would probly be thinker than the ones in real ife. On my 1/35th kits I used to do then in super thin card. I may just try and find a drawing that is in scale. and see about doing my own. This was an old kit I did as a kid about 30 years ago. It is too dark of a mustard yellow to be DAK and then adding side skirts for sure excludes it from being DAK. The paint is a little heavy as 11 year old me didn't know any better. off to find a drawing in 1/48 to see if this path works. JH |

Be careful with the Warlord instructions for any building it. It is incorrect in some variations. Built mine at the girlfriends without reference I now have mismatched hull/turret. |

I general like their kits but they do mispack them from time to time. I had mismatched sp251 sprues. I had a bottom for a d version and a top to a c version. They do not match at all. Contacted them and they sent the right sprue. |
