Panzer 111 Final construction and assembly complete

Post by David Gray »

After five years and nearly giving up several times ,I have finally finished making all
the parts and assembly, the turret bin and schurtzen fitted and finally, the field modded
racking at the rear for carrying oil drums etc
The one part I am now looking forward to is the painting and weathering ,copying the panzer
111 from advanced techniques volume 3 shown in my earlier post. :D

Finally got round to installing the motion packs to the panzer 111 , there is not a lot of room in these tanks , trying to get the tannoy speakers to miss the turret rotation motor
Took a lot of trail and error, used the velcro, method for all the modules, this works quite well and saves more drilling .one thing that has made life easier is fitting a remote
On /off button where you can get at it easier , also a small led battery metre
Also used the small rc switches to turn the smoke on and off and the lights , all works great.
