Also, FYI, the upper hull of the Das Werk Stug III does not match with the lower HL hull. I worked on the upper part of the kit yesterday. I will assemble it and will try to install the HL gearboxes into it to see if I can convert it to RC. If it does not work, I can cover the sprocket areas up and make it a displayed model.

I tried to work on the lower hull last night. I had successfully installed the HL ML49 gearboxes. I also have to use the HL tracks and HL sprockets just to make it runs right. No need to use the Takom tracks. The guy on Youtube stated that it took him 3 hours to put the Takom track links together :-(. No need to buy a whole HL Stug III just to get that lower hull. It doesn't fit anyway.

Update....The assembly and HL electronic installation are done. It can run. I gave it a front light from my panzer III spare part box. It has the red LED light in the driver view box and a red LED launch flashing light in the muzzle brake. No gun elevation. The reason I had to paint the lower hull because the wheels had 2 parts on the sprue. There were the wheels and there were the tires. I painted the tires black and painted the rest of the lower hull dark yellow. Then I could attach the black tires on to the wheels so I could test the tank if it could run. This was was much easier than painting the tire one by one together with the wheel when the work was done.
