Hi.
I recently purchased a taigen panzer iii from imex in America and how I wish I hadn't. The tank was advertised as a full metal edition late version and when it arrived it was anything but. I complained and to give them their due they were extremely apologetic and gave me a full refund and I got to keep the tank. I then purchased a metal lower hull and some other parts with the refunded money. The hull has arrived and to be fair it looks pretty straight forward to swap the in nerds over, however there are some loose parts and screws and springs that are to be assembled the only problem being there are no fitting instructions. Does anybody know how to assemble these parts and if so could you give me any advice please? Many thanks

Hi Rob01

I hope this might help.

Yous should have a metal plate which screws in the front screw pillar on the upper hull like this:



This then should hook into the slot in the front of the lower hull.

The other parts make up the two latches at the rear of the upper hull. These screw to the two rear screw pillars one on the left and one on the right. The hull I used with my metal lower had already been altered to use magnets to join the two halves of the hull together. Because of this I had cut down the screw pillars and had to rebuild them, but apart from that yours should fit exactly the same.







Once fitted these pieces form two sprung latches that engage with the two slots toward the rear of the metal hull sides.

To fit the hull halves together, latch the fronts together, and then press down on the rear to clip in the rear latches. to remove the upper hull, depress the catches at the rear, and lift it up and off.

Hope this helps, I found the bag of bits a bit daunting, but it is not too bad when you work out how it is all supposed to work.

Good Luck

Paul
