Pz IIIL Command

As promised, here is my Pzkfw IIIL command. The antenna, gear rack, and storage box are scratchbuilt from plastic card and rod. The tow ropes are twisted wire and the engine screens are from some mesh I had laying around.

It was going to be a Summer 43' tank with a drk yellow on pz grey paint job but somewhere along the way I decided to whitewash it.

Re: Pz IIIL Command

Still really like this one Freight. Please remind me what the 'target' on the second figure is...I know I asked the same question when you posted this 'over there'.
Peace.

That's a traffic control wand. There's a term for it, but I can't think of it right now, and I ain't trolling through 380 pages of my glossary to find it!
