Panzer III

[Vaseline]

I use Matomart for small parts

Still $11 per pair of wheels

How many do you need? I have some unused ones after upgrading. If you plan to go the the LA battle event on January 8, I can give you some. They are plastic.

I only need two. I was planning on LA tanks. I even am rushing to finish my Panzer, but unfortunately my daughter has a sailing regatta that I need to attend, I won't be able to go. Thank you so much for the offer. My tank is drivable but just missing one side of the wheel that I lost on the proving ground. I used the spare from the top. It is merely a cosmetic issue, but I am afraid of losing it again. I am still waiting for some parts to finish the recoil mechanism but the tank can fight as the LED is in the Mantel not the barrel.

Late 1941, the panzer III crews needed a better and longer gun to deal with the Russian T34s. The panzer maintenance team at the rear tried to install what they think would help.

Did a few updates to my PanzerIII. This was my very first tank in 2018. Bought it off ebay and knew virtually nothing about RC Tanks. I added metal tracks and sprockets. Track tensioner and a clark board since this tank arrived with an outdated 2.4 transmitter. It had zinc gears which I noticed were starting to fail. So I took the Taigen gearbox out of my Panzer IV and put it in. Much better now. No more uneven acceleration as the old tranny was slipping on one side. i also added some styrene too the headlights that makes it more scale and is super easy to do

[DavidN]

Did you modify the headlights? They look great! I should do that on mines too.

[quitcherbitchen]

Yeah, I just cut out some styrene from the top of a plastic food container and glued them over the hole. You wont be able to use the stock LED but who cares.

Nice

And the tank destroyers on the Panzer III chassis. If anyone is curious of why I have the 3 gray stugs in the middle row. Those are loaner tanks for kids 8-12 years old to play at out event. They are more simple to maneuver in the battle for young children.

Yoy! Huge fan of early WWII AFVs; your PzKw IIIs need some Valentines, Matildas, Crusaders to tussle with! Maybe even an Aussie captured M13/40!

Hope springs eternal!

I lost all my tanks and battlefield buildings in the Eaton fire.
