Correcting HL Pz.III exhaust smoke pipes

Post by littletankman »

Hi Ive attempted to re route the smoke in my HL Pz.III . Initialy I replaced the solid exhaust pipes with hollow ones then sealed the exhaust unit to the rear plate . I then tryed to feed the pipes from the smoke unit into the exhaust unit . But one would reach the other wont quite bend enougth . So I think Im going to put them back in the original holes but feed the smoke from there into the exhaust unit so it comes out my replaced exhaust pipes . But in doing this there will be two small pipes attached outside the exhaust unit . But once the rear piece is slid into place and the tank top put on its not vissible . Its not how I want it but couldnt think of another way of feeding the exhaust unit from the smoke unit as its very tight .

Any thoughts ? Thanks Andy

Hi thanks for the link some interesting tips on there . However Ive attempted one way of altering the smoke . But I havent got a RX18 bd in at the mo so cant test it . But if it fails I will give this idea ago.

Many thanks Andy :thumbup:
