| Panzer III renders with romanian markings on the Don front in late 1942. The number is fictional; it is probable that romanian Pz-III came without unit numbers. The only pictures I have show this type of unit shortly after they arrived in the romanian units and without unit numbers... http://imageshack.us |

| If the turret number is fictitional, why do you use it at all? Other than that, it's an excellent rendering. Congratulations. Gen. Dénes |

| Another types of units (R-35, R-2...) in the same time use to have identification numbers painted on the side of the turets. I think that the pictures with ARR Pz-III in late 1942 were taken short time after their arrival in the romanian units and the crews didn't have time to apply this numbers. Also I think that numbers were added in the next days just in time before the russian offensive began. PS Thanks |

Only at the beginning of the war only the R-2 tanks had German type of numbers painted on the turret. I am showing you some pictures from Militaria Magasine, Hors-Serie " De Moscou a Stalingrad (2). Dans l'enfer de Stalingrad" by Yves Buffetaut. The first picture is showing a Romanian T-III with German and Romanian markings and Romanian registration number. http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=016mg.jpg http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=022jh.jpg Here you see the interpretation by Jean Restayn of the picture in a drawring. I don't know on what he is basing the color of the vehicle (khaki) I think it was Dunkelgrau. PS Very nice 3D models once again. |

| The Pz-III that were at Stalingrad area were former german units that came with german colors and markings. I think that they were Pz-III ausf. N, without the side evacuation hatch. Thanks for the comments. http://imageshack.us |
