Still plugging away at my set of Pz III models. I've spent more time on the sprockets and final drive that just about anything else up to this point. So
many parts to work out and make. I redesigned the final drive housing patterns and recast them all. I made my own bearings either of brass or steel
and bronze. I decided that I want to emulate the original having a more or less a discrete separate final drive unit that is bolted in place on the lower hull.
I've attached a series of photos to capture this work; all yet a work in progress. The last two photos I realized are terribly out of focus so I apologize in advance.
Difficult for my point and shoot tp focus on these irregular objects; will try its big brother to try to get clear photos.

I did try the first final drive out, and it seems to work quite well.
