a Bit more work on the panzer 3
I have used the axle part of the redundant plastic swing arms to make mountings for the receiver board and also used them to make retaining lugs for the battery
I used JBweld kwick on the volume mounts and the ordinary JBweld on the receiver board mounts and Battery retaining lugs

A bit more work on the pz3
fitted the axle support bearings and fitted a working Ariel, both of which I got from Tank-Modellbau.de
I had to file down the bearing supports slightly to get the transmision covers to fit
