- This is my love letter/review to the best Panzer III kit ever made. I plan to build this for a group build coming up so I thought I'd look at it with you fine people. This kit is just about as perfect as a kit can get. Still easy to find on ebay affordably as well.

Great review - and damn that's a lot of decal options. That said, considering how the Germans marked their vehicles, I would say you can use any number together with any tank, as long as they are in the "right" color; the big numbers denote company/platoon/tank, in that order, and as long as you make a vehicle from the same organization chart (Pz Div to Pz Div for example), any number will work. The same goes for divisional markings, especially considering the pretty wild mix and match the Germans did when repairing their tanks, cannibalizing other tanks in the process - a long gun on a tank without spaced armor in Stalingrad is not that far fetched actually. Ofc, divisions can't be changed - SSLAH were never in Africa for example.
I think this is exactly what my Cyberhobby White Box Ausf.J is minus the old Borgward and the radio-turret-basket thing. I think I'll be building this one for the GB as well! Looks like an epic kit
I just picked up an F1 Dragon kit today! The same is Sao about that kit being the best panzer 4 kit and can't wait to get started on it!
I made this one with E.T/Aber photo-etch kits, it was wonderful, with no problems at all. very happy with how the kit turned out. In places I didn't bother with PE, the detail was fine anyway!
Thanks for this lengthy and informative kit review. You may have kick started my MoJo. I suggest you re emphasize the use of "scale mates", as it really helped me differentiate the various Dragon kits and separate the good (new) kits from the bad (old) Dragon kits. I have successfully dumper all my old Imperial kits.
+Martin Collmer Glad to help Martin. And very glad to hear you've gotten rid of the not so great kits. I forget to mention scalemates. I use it so often I forget other people might not. Good call.
I built this over the last year. It was my first Dragon kit. I loved it but it was a big challenge to my limited modelling skills. When I get my courage I will commence 6265. Anyway this is an awesome kit.
Great detailed review and I have the kit. I need to build it sometime, German armour was my first love but lately I'v spread my wings a little. well a lot really.
Great review Adam :) Definitely a must-have!
+Felis Barcinonensis Everyone should build it once Felis.
I love this kit, I've built two different variants and will be building the other two variants soon. Highly recommend kit by far!
It's your fault. After watching all your reviews I got the Dragon itch, a friend of mine helped me scratch it at a very good price, Pzkpfw III Ausf. J (TP) (which I will also do a review on, just because it's my first Dragon kit) and all I can say is...yeah, you are right, it's a different world. Fidelity. Detail. Quality. I can't wait to start working on it!
Been slowly building the Ausf L with Winterkitten and wow you are correct very good for beginners! 2nd tank and loving it so much. Makes me wanna build another variant of the same moudling
Great review always, Keep up the good work!
great review as always adam, have that kit, i was going to sell it, but after this review might just have to keep it. it made me remember what an awesome kit it is.
have you had the opportunity to review Dragon 6718 sdkfz 252?
1/35 Sd.Kfz.252 leichte Gepanzerte Munitionskraftwagen
I am trying to find printable instructions. Any suggestions ? I bought the kit online and did not come the instructions. Thank u
Would Miniarts "Panzer iii/IV workable tracks early type" be accurate on this? It doesn't mention the Pz iii J, it only goes up to Ausf D
A Panzer III has been on my list of kits to have and this review pretty much sorted it for me.
+MrGameengineer Fantastic. You won't be sorry.
+Adam Mann Just received my 6394 kit yesterday and all in all the kit looked like it is in good condition. The box was even shrink wrapped (bought from Scalehobbyist). However that glossy pamphlet "Inside Story" was not in the box. I'm not going to lose sleep over that.
Magic tracks and PE were all there?
+Adam Mann Geez the pixels weren't even dry yet before you replied! haha! Nice fast response. Yep the magic tracks and PE were all there.
I have had people buy kits on my recommendation and then the parts I show aren't in there. So I'm very happy to hear that's not the case here.
Hey Adam I got the Tamiya kit 35216 like you said to get.much better than the academy. thanks for the advice.
Very good. You will like it.
I d k bro, that tamiya pz3 L is pretty damn good. But I'd go with dragon cause of more detail and those nasty vinyl tracks tamiya seems to not want to get rid of.
mhhhh very yummy kit!
+Hamilkar Barkas Indeed it is. You back in Deutschland yet?
Adam Mann
i am back indeed, unfortunately :)
Great review/video Adam....
I'm tempted to pick up a 'III' this month, the 'L' late production with the winterketten, I think that she's #6387....the other one with winterketten, the 'N' (#6606) is poking my interest as well, choices, choices....lol
All the best,
Jan
Danke, they're all good. I have the 502 with winterketten. It's beautiful. Just avoid the orange boxes.
What a nice kit, nice review.
+Tiger1AuasfE Thanks very much, it's awesome.
Hi Adam, hope you and family are all well. Just a quick question on this model, tracks, friulmodel yes no ? if yes, which ones ? I’ve managed to get this kit recently purely on your recommendation, so thank you for that as I must agree with you that it’s stunning, a very beautiful model which I think friulmodel tracks would just finish it of nicely. But which ones ?
Sincerely hope you’re well and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kenny.
Cool Looking kit. Thanks for the video
You're welcome. One of the THE best Dragon kits ever made. Hands down.
I want it thanks for sharing Adam
+Ian E (That 1 35th Scale Show) You know it bro.
Is this about the 50th Panzer III kit from Dragon??? With all the different variants and other vehicle built on this chassis, there are a lot of kits with this basic hull.
+Tim Wilding There are roughly 30 Panzer III kits, something like 15 StuG III kits and a few other variants.
Great review - you mention this as possibly Dragons best Panzer III kit - I think you said that kit# 6320 was their best Stug III kit.... Any chance you make a video of the top Dragon kits for each of the Panzers in your opinion and why? Possibly with runners up?
+talex001 You know that's a great idea. I'll try and see if I can come up with one for each and do that.
Hey Adam or anyone else who might see this I have been modeling since I've been 9 years old but I am no expert whatsoever at best a mediocre modeler my ? Is the track links for RFM are small and pins smaller what is the best glue to use Tamiya extra thin has too much capillary action glueing all the tracks together any suggestions from anyone
I mean I used Tamiya when I did their Tiger and I was just SUPER careful.
@@AdamMann3D thank you Adam
When you say winter ketten you are talking about the extensions on the tracks right? Would love to see a video similar to your Wittman one with this ;P (although I'm sure a video like that is a lot more work). Looks like an awesome kit.
+Edward Reilly I'm actually planning that video. These are winterketten. www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Bilder/Panzer4/Pz4G-16.jpg
+Adam Mann That's what I thought you were talking about. I first learned about those in the Panzer III episode of the German War Files. Looking forward to the vid. I haven't modeled before and I'm thinking of getting this kit based off your recommendations.
Edward Reilly
If you're interested in Dragon and this sharp type of detail I think you should. If you do and need some help please don't be afraid to ask. I got a little stuck, but it was a great experience.
Hi Adam do you need to use PE parts with this kit?
The engine grills are really the only thing I would say you need to use, and you could still get away without doing that.
Adam Mann Oh right do they come with plastic ones. Also I have built about 4 1/35 tamiya kits and wanted something a bit more 'challenging'. Do you recommend this kit?
Hey Adam. Will you please tell me what camera you use to record your videos? The quality is good. Thanks.
+blueline308 I use a JVC Everio 450 I got from ebay for about $60. My only complaint is that I can't plug a mic in to it.
Where can you find this table of dragon in the internet
Quite pricey as well....I'd like to get this one someday. 80 bucks on Amazon and 65 at sprue brothers...ahh
Do you know what differences between the two sturminfanteriegeschutz 33 kits are? 6713 and 6749. Supposedly 6749 is better, but the text reviews I found weren't very specific on why.
+Erich von Manstein You know I don't. I'm shopping for one myself and can't really tell what's different.
+Erich von Manstein Eric if you act quickly and are in the US 6713 is on Daily Deal at Dragonusaonline for $33 today only. Just bought one.
+Adam Mann Haha, that is why I was asking you. The 6749 kit is also on sale for $30 because of their April sales. You should also check their Tunisian Initial Tiger. It is only $30 right now, which is even better than daily deal price because dailys are always half off and normal price is 80.
If you are interested, there is a pattern with the deals. They almost always have at least one dragon 1/35 kit on sale. I only have been watching the 1/35 kits, but they always go in increasing order. But they sometimes skip a kit. They always skip figure kits, but they even skip certain vehicle kits. I have been watching the kit number increase every day, so I knew when to expect the ones I wanted, but they skipped some I wanted. They were in 6500's a few weeks ago and they skipped the Firefly Ic 6568. I haven't figured out yet how they choose which get skipped.
Would recommend this for a beginner?
i've built Gundam kits a lot but never Armor ones, i like WW2 tanks, so i'm thinking of getting this one as my first.
Yes and no. This is one of the best Dragon kits ever made, but it's not just a cakewalk. It's challenging but in a good way. If you decide to get it and need help you could ask me whatever you need.
Kit is basically unavailable
Toller Bausatz. ;-))
+Merlin deroy Jawohl
+Adam Mann Nice review, It's quite the coincidence from my part, as I had just received this model about a week ago, and I don't order that many.
I've previously built the Dragon Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf. H Late production, and I know these Pz IV's and Pz. III's kits are very similair in construction, initial release dates and quality, but to me that kit feels equal, if not even more impressive, The metal schürzen, extra T-34 spare tracks to model a specific photographed vehicle, aswell as the relative ease at which it went together, made that my personal favourite.
Such a shame we're having to delve into the company's history to find good models, instead of looking forward to new releases.
Anyways, appreciate the in-depth content as always :P
The first rule of scalematez.?dont mention scalematezz
!!!!!......but it is a fantastic resource.Wouldnt build a kit before looking it up.Its saved me money and disappointment.And i heard it it here first.
Too late. I got bit by the Dragon bug! LOL
+Red Dragon ModelWerks Maybe now you understand why I run in to those shows and raid the Dragon stuff. Some of those kits are just bangin.
I have been after this kit forever ... Too expensive so far
+Hollywood Modelling Really? I got it fairly cheap. I suppose since it's got Magic Tracks and both barrels it's possible it's become more valuable to people.
+Adam Mann I've only seen it in the $40s on eBay. Can you suggest a better place for less? Love your reviews btw.
