Panzer III L

[bhop73]

If anyone's on rcuniverse, you may have seen this already, but for those that aren't:

So a while ago, maybe a couple years by now, my PzIII broke down on me. The gears stripped and I ordered the mato metal upgrade set. Fast forward to now, and i'm back on it. You can read about it on my blog here:

Thanks. I've got a few Panzer III books and a lot of web photos, including a lot of the Bovington Panzer. I found a sweet build thread on the Armortek forums that i've been using as reference too, although their forum is down at the moment.

here's a good reference gallery of the Bovington tank:
