My Panzerkampfwagen III

Post by pcsguy88 »

I thought I would share my baby with you guys here. I bought her 11 months ago with plans to use as parts for a custom, but I didn't have the heart to tear her apart. Instead, I put a nice chunk of change into her and she is by far my best runner.

Here's the list:
HL Panzer III L with metal tracks
Asiatam lower hull with metal roadwheels and rubber tires
HL Steel gearboxes
Tank Modellbau side antenna converted to fully functional
Tank Modellbau headlight cover
Photo-etched grill covers
Asiatam spare metal roadwheels with fender mounts
Custom rigged front track holders for spare metal links

Hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks for the compliments. With the steel gearboxes and rubber tyres, this sucker is a stealth tank. It's so quiet, smooth and corners like a Porsche. I'm currently building up a KV-1 to the same specs and can't get use to the slow, clunky, non-steering beast. The Bulldog sits right inbetween these 2 in performance.

I could really use a replacement copula if anyone has one. Mine had the weak hinges break and I can't yet stomach the price of the metal one at tankzone.
