My Tanks

[nibelungenwerk]

My tank collection

Jagdtiger old 70’s Tamiya chassis lengthened front and rear and laser cut 5mm Aluminium superstructure turned barrel.
Currently a bit of a non runner- I fitted a reducing gearbox/motor combo in place of the original motor. It reduced the speed nicely but the increased torque chewed up the gears in the original boxes. I am currently designing a gear box for this and other models.

Kingtiger- Tamiya Very late model-stereoscopic range finder( My sons really)

Mid production Tiger 1 Tamiya Command tank version

SturmTiger Tamiya donor with the wechco conversion kit (Has anybody ever built the Shell hoist?)Shared Tamiya Electronics

Bandai Panzer IV Started life as a F2 but up gunned to converted H/G Tamiya electronics and motors

Bandai Panzer IV Nashorn- Started life as Hummel/scratch built 88mm L71 Shared Tamiya Electronics

Bandai Panzer IV Ostwind Bandai F2 donor scratch built turret Shared Tamiya Electronics

Jagdpanzer IV L70 Bandai F2 donor Cromwell models superstructure Shared Tamiya Electronics and motors

Next planned Panzer IV Wirbelwind Bandai F2 acquired 4 barrel 20mm acquired

On the stocks long term 1/15 Hetzer currently 5 chassis under construction wheels  drive cogs idlers turned Chassis tubs made The Suspension was planned out till a mate said why don’t you do it this way(doh) Gearboxes planned awaiting finance

Kubel wagon with fully proportional radio control with scratch built Pak 37.

I do however have a fault I love solving the engineering problems of building/converting but hate painting them I have two that look like they have just been sprayed at nibelungenwerk- lovely sand yellow- no camo no weathering

You may notice the comment Shared Tamiya Electronics I have figured out a way to use 1 DMD receiver etc in several tanks as easy as changing a battery!

Hi Bob

Fantastic collection!

I've had an unmade Bandai Hummel lying around for ages. Been meaning to convert it into a Nashorn. I'd love to see some closeup pics of your Nashorn conversion.
