Against all odds… I´ll pick up the challenge but will give my StuG III Auf. F very little chance against the other fantastic builds.

This is my real scratch build (a current general discussion topic ;) ) StuG III Ausf. F that is a conversion of the later HL Stug III Ausf. G.
It was my first RC tank ever when I started some years ago. Because of that fact, there is no build report available.

Therefore here are some pictures of the build.

A speciality is the micro LED through the MG34 gun tube.

Good Afternoon,
Hope I am on time. Here is my Late Tiger 1, a composite Build originally started by Jackalope and refurbished later on by me. This build uses Heng Long, Tamiya, Taigen and Hobby Boss parts and components. Hull and Running gear are metal and this is a heavy tank indeed. I have added new servos, Clark electronics and did the detailing, adding brass and tools\parts where needed. Paint was originally by Jackalope and I left it mostly alone as it is a cracking good job already!
