RE: Chinese design
Hi Wozwasnt
I have recently received my PzIII and must say that, although it looks better "scalish" at first glance than the Tiger and, of course, the Pantiger, when you begin the measurement odyssey that ***** HL way of making tanks appears....
The gun barrel is clearly out of scale, it needs to fire those 6 mm pellets [:@]
The stowage bin is clearly longer and taller than the original, it is so because of the housing for the gun elev/depress mechanism. Same problem that with the Tiger aft lifting mushroom....
Antenna needs to be relocated.
Vent openings in the motor compartment need to be rebuilt.
And the electronic guts are the same as the other S&S tanks.....
In the other hand the price is unbeatable, the overall result is very good, and the tank steers and runs fine. Mine has Asiatam (Mato) metal gears installed, but suppose that plastic gears should perform as well, the tank is smaller, lighter and more rigid than his brothers.
Regards
Jose
