Re: hi there
Good Afternoon,
Welcome to the Forum! Great charger and great tank as well. Thank you for the photos. They are always appreciated around here. A couple of simple things that you can do to add snap to your armor: Turn your siren the right way around, the grill should be facing forward ( on the left fender ). Take off the 3848 numbers. Those are simply Heng Long's series number given to this line of tank models. Some dry slide or wet decals from Tamiya or one of the major decal and stencil sites will make you much happier. Another thing that you can do is to carefully sand down the tips of the LEDs on the headlights and put on the metal or plastic blackout covers for that type of headlight. Those can be found at several sites like Forgebear or rctank.de to give examples. Please keep enjoying your armor and post pics of the upgrades that you do. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Re: hi there
Hello Kevin , You have got a better battery + charger - good move , I would look around for some ' 3 to 1 ' gearboxes too , they will improve the 'realism' and drivability no end , but you need be sure they are going to fit , not all types do - check out the HL section for tips / ideas etc . 

to the bouncy room ! Yay !

Re: hi there
I love your pz III. I have one to work on soon, and I am reading and learning lots from your build so far. I love how there is so much knowledge is here, and the community is very giving and supportive.
