The parts are again flawlessly cast and the set includes a new front plate for the fighting compartment with the earlier armoured vision slot with separate armoured top cover.
New armoured air intake covers are provided for the glacis plate and for the turret is a nicely detailed Ausf.F type armoured cupola with vision slots (in use from the Ausf.D). This has a nicely detailed armoured belt, vision slots and bolt details as well as top ring with hatch hinges for the kit hatches, the cupola is hollowed out and once the casting block is removed it is open into the turret although there are no interior cupola details.
A simple yet well detailed conversion set to make another version of the Panzer III.
Thanks to M&Models for the review samples.
