About product

Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. M early production conversion set 1:48, from the maker Hauler

A resin set from the Czech maker Hauler in 1:48 scale, meant for modifying the model of the German medium tank into the early production form of the Ausf. M version. The accessory is cut for a plastic kit in 1:48 scale, which you need to own; it is not included in the package.

Why tell the early and the late form apart

The Ausf. M was produced at a time when the design was being revised practically on the move, so vehicles from different parts of the run differ in details of the hatches, the vision ports, the exhaust and the equipment on the hull. A model built from the box tends to be a compromise between the variants. If you are building a specific machine from a photograph, what decides is precisely whether it has the early or the late form - and the differences are large enough for a knowledgeable viewer to notice them.

Building tips

Before you start gluing, compare the resin parts with the plastic ones and set aside those that will not be used. Wash the castings in warm water with detergent, or the primer will not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and finish the surface on abrasive paper laid on glass or a board, so that the parts sit with no gap. With conversions it pays to repeat the dry run several times. It is bonded with super glue; fill the seams with putty and sand them down. Do not underestimate sanding resin with protection for your airways. Start painting with a primer, which evens out how plastic and resin take paint, and only then apply the base shade and the weathering.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who build a specific vehicle from a period photograph
  • Anyone interested in telling the early and the late form of one version apart accurately
  • Builders with experience of resin and super glue
  • Collectors of German vehicles in 1:48 scale

This is a conversion accessory for a kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

In details of the hatches, the vision ports, the exhaust and the equipment on the hull. The exact list differs between individual sets.

No. It is a conversion accessory; you have to own the plastic kit in 1:48 scale separately.

Yes, super glue. Ordinary cement for plastic does not dissolve resin and the joint will not hold.

Resin and plastic take paint differently. A primer evens the surface out and the paint holds better during handling.
