Fresh out of the box

Firstly, congratulations. You have bought one of HL's best offerings to date. The Pz III is a great little runner, pretty well put together, and there are lots of after market mods available.
Out of the box you will need to do two little jobs to correct the most glaring discrepencies:-
1: The tracks will be on the wrong way round. Remove the drive sprockets and swap the tracks round, or pop one of the pins that hold the tracks together and swap them round. ( Detailed info on how to do this can be found in the FAQ section. )
2: The TC's cupola is nearly always out of alignment. If you are lucky it wont be glued in place and you can simply twist it so that the vision port that is in line with the centre of the hatches faces directly forwards.
That's the most basic fixes for the PzIII.
Cheers
John
