Re: Panzer III variant
A bit more paint, and added a heavy duty towbar. I want to build a tank transporter trailer once I have completed the tank. It's got a universal joint, so it should be able to tow over undulating terrain without getting jammed up.
Update - It's all painted and weathered now, the racks and gun have been glued down, a muzzle flash led placed in the barrel, and an mg fitted.
I have installed one of my Elmod boards in a component box, fitted a 4 pin plug on one end for the motors, a two pin for the power, and can now remove it and install it in any tank in one go. All I need to do is switch the jumper settings for different tank sounds as they are all on the sim card. I designed it so that it will fit into a Panzer III hull, it will also go in the T34, so in theory as these are the smallest hulls, it should go in anything.
I could not believe how tight the P3 hull was though, there is not a mm of spare space anywhere even with everything cut out from inside. I will post a video when everything is up together properly, I am waiting for some magnets for the hull mounts.

Re: Panzer SIG33
Yes, it will be there. It will of course be the most agile tank killer on the battlefield, ready to take on the best of British armour.
I have a pair of low ratio gearboxes on the way from Forgebear so hopefully they will be installed by then.
It will be great to see everyone again, and having a good indoor battlefield is going to be a huge bonus, thanks for arranging it.
