If you learn from this tank, the next will be only better.
Cheers

Re: Pz III rebuild...
I love tanks that have been made to look like they have been across several countries and survived a multitude of attacks. Great work!

Re: Pz III rebuild...
Wow!! thanks alot guys. It's nice to be on a forum that actually gets some feedback. I like to post pics while in the process so I can get some info and thoughts from others. You picked out a few hings for me to improve on what I was doing. I appreciate that. this little tank is a great runner. Even without gear reduction. I am waiting for some parts to arrive to finish her up so i will expand on this post when it's done.

Re: Pz III rebuild...
Today I received the Asiatam recoil unit along with a few other little goodies. As usual nothing goes easy wenit's my own stuff. lol. The recoil unit was for a larger tank, maybe a tiger 1 so I needed to make several modifications to make it work in the PzIII. I anjoy the builds, so not a problem at all, just taking a bit more time than I first thought. I fitted everything tonight and wired it up. Everything works and tomorrow I'll try to get her back together and post some pics.

Re: Pz III rebuild...
looking very weathered , i like it, when it comes to rubber tyres i always do mine a very dark grey with a bit of brown ink in the mix, if you look at tyres that have been used or part worn they arnt black, apart from new spares,
