Side skirts for panzer tank

[sclui56]

DavidN Looks good, did you have to wire in resistor?

[DavidN]

I did not do any wiring. I just connected it to the black pin cable and pushed into slot LED tail-light #3 in the 6.0S board.

Silly me, totally forgot it's a HL.

It took three weeks to get a small 8x4x3 box from Germany to get to me at my cost of almost $50 :-(

Good luck David, BTW, I have seen those cylindrical rear convoy lights on Tiger 2's, though there's a never-ending debate on the color.

I put the side skirts on the Stug III. The instruction from RCtank.de was in German. I had to use google translation to understand it. I will paint it this week.

How are these skirts attached? Can they be removed to access thacks and wheels, or do you take the whole top hull off to do so, or...?

[DavidN]

Once they are on, they are on. I used super glue as I don’t want any part to fall off if I ride it outdoor. They would be difficult to replace:-) Everything was glued onto the upper hull. It is best to unscrew the hull out and leave it separately to work on tracks and wheels.

Here is my Panzer III unpainted

I thought German people are very detailed and throughout. The instruction on the panzer III side skirts was horrible even though it was in English. I had to guess on many part applications.

Speaking of skirts...here's one for you David. A PzKpfw IV with a Panther F turret, with SEE-THRU skirts! Oooo! 😏 There is some company who makes an F turret, forget who.

[DavidN]

Thank you Bob! An now here are my finished panzer III...

Great work DavidN on both the Stug and Panzer. Looks like a lot of work done for an excellent finish. The paint jobs are awesome too.

[DavidN]

Applied HL decals and did some dry brushes. The rest of the work will be done by the ride at the park tomorrow.

This is probably my last project on the side skirt thread. I bought this static HL panzer HL ausf F2 for $80. I replaced it with the steel gearboxes, 6.0S main board, metal sprockets, Taigen metal tracks, new speakers. I replace the old barrel with the metal one that had the muzzle brake of an ausf G or H version. I put aiming light and launch flashing light. I won't convert this on to IR. I want to leave the skirt pieces in individual piece. If I do IR, I then I have to glue them all together. And I don't want that. This is what I have done so far. I will finish it this weekend. And of course I
will put a bunch of extra track links on top :-)
