Thread Starter

I am in need of some specific pictures for a project Ihope to start soon.
I have Googled like a md thing but cannot find exactly what Iwant.
If anyone is building/painting/modding a Heng LOng Pz III/Stug III, could they possibly take the following pictures for me and post 'em?
1. A side on shot of the chassis with no tracks and if possible some of the suspension arms on and some off?
2. Arear end shot of the chassis?
Iwould be sincerely grateful!
Thanks

Not really sure of what the objective of your "rear end shot" is but the first is the PZ IIIL , and the second is thePz III HTauchpanzer

Thanks for the shots! Im trying to find what the back end of a stug iii ausf. f. looks like. reallife pictures are usually the business end and back end shots are usually covered in mud.
But in the shot of the PZ III L.......that (the back bit) looks a lot like what people are calling a stug F so Iam happy. But the exhausts under the thing that looks like a snow shovel....are they standard Pz III exhausts?
With respect to th eshots of the swing arms.....I asked because Ijust a just bought a set of Pz III swing arms in metal and they do not look like, for example, the swing arms on the Asiatam metal Pz III hull at all.
So Im trying to see if Ihave the right thing at all.
Plus, Iwas also trying to see the consiguration for the suspension springs in the Pz III from Heng Long.

The thing that looks like a shovel is actually a deflector. The external mufflers underneath were standard on the Pz IIIs up to the Ausf L and the Stug III's. Early models PZ IIIs(and I'm guessing Stug IIIs)did not have the deflector over the mufflers. Ithink the deflector first appeared on the Pz III H. The picture I sent of the PZ IIIH Tauchpanzer is a special case. Its a modified PZ IIIH for deep water wading. The standard rear muffler was removed and replaced with a special unit that would prevent the backflow of water into the muffler/engine. In the picture I sent you of the PZ IIIHtauchpanzer the muffler is not installed. The deep wading muffler type reappeared as standard on the PZ III M and N for all units.
