The Hauler 1:48 resin turret box for the Pz.III is a small accessory that adds a stowage box for the crew's equipment to the rear of the turret of a model. It is not a kit but an accessory for one.
Responsibility details are not available.
A small resin casting which completes the model of the German Pz.Kpfw. III medium tank with a stowage box mounted on the rear of the turret. It is a typical item thanks to which a model stops looking like a clean factory piece and takes on a lived-in, used character. The accessory is intended for a kit in 1:48 scale; the model itself is not included in the package.
Crews fitted containers for tools, spare parts and personal equipment to the turret, and the box quickly became a prominent part of the silhouette. For a modeler it is at the same time the quickest way of setting one model apart from another - two identical kits side by side look completely different when one has a box and the other does not. A resin casting holds sharp edges, rivets and the texture of sheet metal better than injection-molded plastic.
Wash the part in warm water with detergent and let it dry thoroughly, or the paint will not hold on it. Cut the casting block off with a saw and level the surface on abrasive paper laid on glass, so that the box sits on the turret with no gap. It is bonded with super glue; cement for plastic does not work on resin. If on the real vehicle the box sits on brackets, these can be suggested with a strip of photo-etch or with thin copper wire. Paint it in the same shade as the turret but make the weathering stronger - wear on the edges, dust in the corners and a light rusty tint on the clasps immediately give away that it is a container in use.
This is an accessory for a kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
