Panzer III DAK x 2

Here are the start photos for me and my offsiders DAK Panzers. My youngest child Abby wants to have a go at building one of the two tanks supplied in the kit. Both of the builds will be OOB as I will be away from home with work for two weeks of the month.

Hey no fair John, You're getting extra help

Kidding!! This will be very cool, good luck kids!

Cheers
JT

Yes, very cool! Way to go, Abby!

Hi Abby:
Ohhh, Hi to you too John :

Alright, all set and ready to go.

Gary

Well Abby and John.
This model is really perfect for this GB.
GO, GO, GO!!!

I have one too

Pavel

Thanks for the comments chaps. This looks like a nice little kit; on first inspection it seems to have quite a bit of detail for a fairly small parts count. Abby and I will try and get a bit done this weekend as I’m off on Monday for two weeks.

A quick update on Abby and my Panzer III’s. I have the lower hull of mine ready for undercoat. Abby has her lower hull complete but has also done some of the turret. She got a little bit excited and cut the corner off the gun mantel when she was getting it off the sprue , but I should be able to fix it for her.

Go Abby Go Abby Go Abby !!!!!!

This is sooooo kewl to watch you both go with this any thoughts to color schemes ?

Jenny

Thanks Jenny.
I’m probably going to follow the painting instructions on the box, but I’m pretty sure Abby will use as many colours as she can get her hands on!!!!

Kewl , the technicolor nightmare

Excellent she can drive you potty with colour choice.

It'll be good practice for you for when she discovers boys.

Nice work on those panzers, kids! You could call Abbys panzer a late war scheme, some of those camo patterns were pretty out there

Hi Abby, Hi John:

Those are a nice pair of Pz III's. And it's not a mistake John. That is battle damage that Abby has done. Already she is super detailing kits . Please don't stop now, this is really fun to watch.

Gary

Hi there.
Nice and quick progress.

Another update on Abby and my Panzer’s. Both our builds are complete. I’ve got mine painted and ready for decals and weathering, but Abby has just started on her first camo colour!
Mine

Abby's

Hi John:
Hi Abby:

That is some really nice looking work. And I really like the start of the camo on Abby's kit. That looks really good so far Abby .

Gary

Looking great!! Abby you've done a excellent job so far, I see you've been able to paint the wheels without getting any on the tracks, well done!

Cheers
JT

Abby has just about finished her panzer, just have to give her a hand with some decals.



I am done with mine. I tried to make mine look like this one.

Wow. Abby has done a lovely job with her Panzer...

Oh, and yours is not bad John...

Simon

Ha! Well done Abby and John!

Cheers
JT

Abby has finished her Panzer . I enjoyed building our kits together, except for the fact that she never stops talking (takes after her Mother!). She recons she wants to build another model, so we may be posting more of her work in the future.

Sounds like Abby is good company at the bench! Well done and cograts to you both!!

Cheers
JT

Well Done Abby.

Simon

Well there is nothing wrong with having a chat while you are modelling Abby ! I really really love the panzers Abby , you are doing great and if there is any help with your models you need , please drop me a line

I hope to see more of your work really really soon

Jenny

Nice builds, especially Abby's! Tell her to keep up the good work!
