Title: Panzer III and variants upgraded and expanded!
Post by: Leon on 23 December 2020, 11:06:35 AM
Our final batch of releases for 2020 sees the revamp and expansion of our entire Panzer III range, as well as a few bonus extras as well!

The new Pz III's include the oft-requested short 50mm L/42 version, as well as a Flammpanzer variant too.  And for those who really need them, we've got the 'pig's snout' mantlet versions of the StuG III G's!  Elsewhere we've revamped the Wirbelwind on our newer Pz IV chassis and also added the Ostwind version.  

And finally (just for Ithoriel!) we've added the Soviet captured Pz III's, which were fitted with 76mm guns and designated Su-76i.

Fabulous. Will we be seeing Pz I and Pz II updated models in the future as well Leon?

Yep, Panzer I and II are next on the list, along with the Italian artillery guns.

I swore I wouldn't do anything post 1940.  But, with the prospect of Italian artillery and PzII, and these PzIII, I see the possibility of an early N African project.

Very nice tanks. But did you not mention that you had an additional batch of fantasy monsters for release or will they come next year?

12 different Pz IIIs  :o :o :o
Title: Re: Panzer III and variants upgraded and expanded!
Post by: Heedless Horseman on 24 December 2020, 03:55:59 AM
VERY nice PzIIIs...and for the price! Good to see the support brackets for the additional armour. StugIIIs look great too! Sigh...I am overloaded with PzIII ,IV,and Stugs but  great improvements to the range!  :)

Note: wrong tank in catalogue picture for the short 50mm...duplicates Long barrel variant.

I wonder whether the PzII will have the Turret bin? Takara WTM and Butlers Printed Models DO NOT!

Great Work guys!  :) 
Title: Re: Panzer III and variants upgraded and expanded!
Post by: John Cook on 24 December 2020, 11:24:13 AM
A turret bin is not typical for the PzII, certainly not in 1940, although I've seen pics of Ausf F and later with them in N Africa and the Soviet Union.

Is that the Pz III J, code GRV7?  I think I might have the wrong lable on that and it could be the longer L/60 barrel, I'll check on it with Dave to make sure.

Leon, yes the GVR7 as pictured is the Panzer IIIJ with 5cmL60 gun, not the 5cmL42.

Leon says: "We'll have more new stuff coming tomorrow so keep an eye out for that!"  I read this as meaning more fantasy stuff but I guess it was Panzers.  Still this post: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,20204.0.html references a number of fantasy creatures that seem not to have made the release. So fingers crossed they pop up soon. The worms look particularly good.

I'm waiting for Amazons - some of whom I think may be astride the terror birds.

They might be.

It's up to Sir.  :D

You are such a tease.



We know there are Amazons huddled in Middle-Borough. You say there is a range to be mounted on Terror Birds ... c'mon, it's got to be the Amazons!

'sides who else would ride terror birds?
