The Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M model in 1:35 scale, crafted by Evgeniy Vorotskov, is truly something to admire. Right off the bat, the first thing that catches my eye is the weathering. It’s done in such a way that it gives the model a sense of realism, as if it’s been through a few battles already. The subtle dirt and grime add a nice touch without overdoing it.

Now, thinking about the real Pz.Kpfw.III, it’s a tank with an interesting history. This model was widely used during the early stages of WWII, primarily by Nazi Germany. It was initially designed as the main battle tank, but as the war progressed, it took on more of a supporting role. I sometimes wonder if this model represents a vehicle that’s fresh from the factory or one that has seen its fair share of action.

Looking at Vorotskov’s work, you can tell the time and effort that went into this build. The clean lines and precise construction speak volumes about his skill. Each tiny detail, from the turret to the tracks, is meticulously placed. Speaking of tracks, I really like how they look weathered, but not excessively so. It’s like they’ve just rolled off a muddy battlefield, yet you can still make out every link.

One interesting aspect is how the paint has been handled. The camo pattern is sharp and clear, perfectly suited for blending into varied landscapes. The decals also stand out without clashing with the overall color scheme—a tricky balance to achieve.

In the end, what I find most engaging about this model is the balance it strikes between realism and artistic expression. It captures the essence of the real Pz.Kpfw.III, yet adds that personal touch that makes Vorotskov’s work unique. If you’re fascinated by military history or love model building, this is certainly a piece worth exploring further.
