Panzer III Heng long Asiatam rebuild:

[xrad]

Just talking to myself:  Checked out MANY pics on the net. Looks like tracks are placed on drivers in both directions.  The new tanks coming out of some factories have tracks with the hinge exposed (for the most part. This is probably how they go on....but out in many field shots, tracks are in place with the hinges protected (backwards?). Maybe, out in the field, tankers found that hinges lasted longer if protected? This is how I have mine. I even found one pic with the tracks in opposite directions!  Got it from net site of someone's museum tour, thanks!

I can't see it makes a great deal of difference,the tank works just as well going backwards,which is like turning the tracks around.
I may be wrong though.

what I find odd is the tanker in the picture,check out the head gear.

is it a footbal helmet from 1923?

You've done a great job detailing your PzIII and the review of AsiaTam's hull is great.  If you're putting that much detail into it, you might consider getting Tank Modellbau's antenna so that yours is in the correct spot.

Just found Tank-modellbau site.  found a bunch of stuff I want to get.  Unfortunately, due to my limited vocab, I can't find the checkout on the website. will have to email them....
