Panzer III upper/lower hull mounting
 
I installed the upper/lower hull mounting on my Panzer lll but it keeps falling out. Can someone send me a pick of what it looks like? Imayhave something backwards.Just want to see if I have it right.

Without opening mine...the first thing that jumps at me is that the center sliding piece is upside-down. The angled piece should face downward when close the hull. The hooks on the inside should be at the top (towards the upper hull). Your springs, which appear to be missing, go on the little hook on the end of the slider and the hook on the frame (see red circles). Basically, flip that center sliding piece over and try it that way.

This is what it looks like on my Panzer 3 (uses the same lower hull and latch system). Sorry it took me way too long to respond!

I don't use plastic on the sides anymore, using Aluminium sheets it's stronger and it gives the tank more weight

Do you epoxy the aluminium sheet to the sides of the hull?
