Hi all,

Does anyone know what the heck this pole and square log is on the side of the Heng Long Pz III H ? It is not on the long barrel Pz III L version.

Good afternoon,
The Tauchpanzer series was being set up to invade Britain by driving across the Channel. Equipment included the collapsible snorkel and track beam to help 'unstick' the tank.

Thanks Painless. That explains why all the exhaust are covered on the engine deck.

Painless are you telling me that instead of paying a fortune on car ferries and the Channel Tunnel I could have just bolted an extension to the Exhaust pipe and driven over?
Now you tell me.
Oh and a very happy Christmas old friend. and of course to you Michael.

Thats how all the migrants are getting in mate !!..............running on tax-free agricultural diesel and loaded with cigarettes to boot

Herman I hope you and the family are having a great Christmas,
I laughed at your reference to migrants,
Some years ago I was witness to the "Syrian display team",
Dawn on a spring day, a light mist, just stopping at a roundabout leading from a Motorway, On my right a 40 foot tilt trailer driving slowly around the reverse camber and as the back of the trailer passed me, as if by magic, heads appeared at the trailing edge of the curtain,
I counted 20 young men as they debussed and disappeared into a nearby industrial park.
I did not know whether to laugh or cry but I am one of those strange fellows who were I in a country where there was no future I would for the sake of my family do anything to improve my lot.
These people go through hell to come to Europe And who do I think I am to tell them to go back,
I am lucky I live here but you can bet good money that most of us living in the same mess that is Syria would do the same.

Good evening,
Just out of curiosity I looked up the shallowest part of the Channel crossing circa 1941. 26 meters deep north of the Dover crossing. Those guys in the tanks would have had to have been fanatics to the 'cause' indeed to drive across a submerged land bridge and hope to fight their way up the beaches on the other side. Whew, no thank you! Jarndice, Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years, sir, to you and yours. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Paimless , the plan was to travel most of the way across in landing craft then debuss a kay or two offshore and wade in from there.

Good morning,
Aussie, that makes more sense ( in the way that assisted suicide seems more sensible than Russian roulette ) Still, crazy fanatics signing up for that drive.
regards and Happy New Years,
Painless

is there any way I can extend the barrel on mine? I don't really like the short cannon...it's personal preference
