So, after waiting for a long time, some of the parts I ordered from China have arrived. Most of them are for my Tiger1 project though some are used for the Leopard 2A6 too. Gotta be busy now :)

360 turret rings for both the Tiger and Leopard 2A6 and steel road wheel for Tiger

Steel suspension arms for Tiger but one of them is in wrong direction!

This is what I am waiting for the most; Track tensioner for Tiger (and also for Pantiger), metal idlers with bearing, and bearing for set for existing idlers. Also the slip rings for 360 turret.

50 mm gun of 60 caliber ? a Pz III J ?
The battle horse of the Panzewaffe during oeraztions in the eastern Front mainly in 1942 and Stalingrad, Fall Blau like modern armies but not only... :) and i like much East front with many datas, Wargames ofc.

I had an AMX-30 in plastic much more simple and in the garden It was Madness ... but The batteries did not last long ; you have a very nice toy with rds you can punish the bad neighbour haha o_O

I'm not so sure about its model, maybe H or J; however, most Panzer III are made in H model. Hobbyists may modify to model that they like or particular tank that they spot with photos. The AMX-30 is a nice tank but I'd like to have a full metal model mainly for display. I will seldomly run it. This tank come with torsion bar suspensions which most hobbyists suggest that if you leave the tank stands on its own for long time, it may hurt the torsion bars that it might become soft. I will find something to support it from the bottom for display.

Take my little tank out for offroad, and end in disaster...
I like to see when it manuevers through thick grass and press all the grass down like a real tank.
