Those are all of the builds that I have saved. Probably some newer ones out there. Basically, just do a search for Panzer III builds.

The tracks get pretty tight so you better add one more link.

This upgrade is not for the feint of heart but it really improves the look of the PzIII chassis. I wish HL would fix their molds once and for all - there is no reason for this to be wrong [:@]

Agreed, but they need to fix the rear idler diameter as well.

I've been trying to figure out why the glaring errors in the return roller mounts and the idler size are present in the first place, and why they haven't been corrected by now. Since the Panzer III is one of the "older" HL models, and the early designs had/have accuracy issues here and there, I just wonder if it was one of the initial designs, and at that time, accuracy wasn't as big a concern as it seems to be now. The new models are much better in the accuracy department (up to a point, it is HL after all) and I would have hoped they would re-visit the architecture of the Panzer III.

As it is right now, it leaves a lot of additional work for the modeler. I still stand by my thought that HL should offer their models in kit form as well as complete, so that those who are concerned with accuracy, and intend to replace much with metal parts anyway, aren't paying for assembly, paint, and the hassle of disassembly (and possible breakage) of parts. Even at the same price it would be more time-effective for those who wish to do more detail work on them, which judiging by this forum, is pretty large.
