Panzer III Conversions from Roco


Famo made halftracks with interleaved suspensions.  About a half a dozen of these suspension types were used on the Panzer III.  It was decided that it was not worth trouble and cost for the minimal improvement offered.  They were used in anti-tank training of infantry for a time and then they were used near the end as tanks against the enemy.


Large plow, such devices were used to clear roadways after massive bombing raids.


Another Panzer III this time with old Roco Panzer IV side skirts and horseshoe collar.


A few Panzer III tanks were given railroad wheels.  An easy and quick conversion.


Bottom view, not much more than replacing the original wheels with train wheels.
