Default RE: Rookie's Panzer III J

That's an H not a J. Note that the H has a different rear end above the mufflers and the last two vent covers are much smaller then the L. The transmission access doors are different and it doesn't have the hull side extensions with the towing eyes. Take note of the square radio operators machine gun compared to the round one used on the J and later tanks. Heng Long is going to release an H.

I don't know the history of this tank, it would be quite a survivor to have lasted from its production as late as July '41 to be around in '43 to have the Schurzen installed. Was this a capture from Normandy? Where is it located?

Are you going to delete the spaced armor mantlet and use those new adjustable idlers?
