I went on a bit of a spree a few weeks back, ordering stuff from a few different places. The three Italeri Panzer IIIs I ordered arrived today…

Panzer III from Italeri

The plan was to use them for North Africa, but it would be for the latter part of the North African campaign as these can be built as the Ausf. J/L/M/N variants – which weren’t available until later in 1942…? 

While I’m doing pretty okay with the foot figures this year – 179 acquired (purchased on traded for) versus 194 painted – I am getting a bit behind on the vehicles… When all the stuff I’ve ordered arrives, I’ll have purchased 19(!) tanks, and I have thus far only painted 7! 

As tempted as I am to crack these open and get to work, I should probably finish up the Italian tanks!
