Thx, Villiers de Vos. As the original decal sheet (114 & white cross) was cracked up, I choose to build a Pz. III G of 15 Pz. Div..

Hi, Audrius.

The plastic sprue of Dragon red box is not very friendly to me, some seam lines are not easy to remove. As you said the seam line on barrel, I have used the sandpaper to polish it multiple times, but it seemed that the line could not be fully removed. The dragon red box did not provide a complete gun barrel, instead they equally cut the barrel into two pieces, so modelers need to glue these two pieces of half barrel together. Moreover, the plastic was very crispy and easily to be cracked, so I could not sand them very hardly. Maybe I should replace the manlet and barrel by using some resin and metal components.

if you removed the seam and polished after, so this is just visual effect now. After the coat of prime most probably it will be gone. Of course if you have metal barrel , that would be best option. good luck with the build

Hi, Audrius. I still prefer the metal barrel because it really looks amazing.

Unfortunately, many metal and resin products are unavailable in the market of mainland China.

Currently, I am trying to purchase the product of DEF (DM35107), but the seller tells me that the lead time is approximately 2 months after buyer places orders.
