Mato metal Panzer III

Post by billpe »

Hello, does anyone here own one of these Mato metal Panzer III's or the individual chassis or hull?

I've made up my mind to get one of these and put Elmod electronics inside, but there is very little information available about it the tank itself, bar lots of nice pictures and a couple of Youtube videos. Always wanted a PzIII and this looks like an excellent little model.

I'm looking for information on the following, if anyone knows: is there enough space between the chassis and the transmission covers (assuming they can be removed from the outer chassis) to install a drive shaft support/bearings? What gun elevation unit will fit? The stock HL one from a PZIII? The recoil unit supplied with the tank is from Asiatam but is this just a carbon copy of a HL unit? Whats are the quality of the tracks like? I've not seen Mato tracks before, just HL metal and Impacts.

Thanks!
