Turret work.
Need to make a new barrel and breech. Turret elevation will be just below.

Barrel. Drilled a 3.13 mm hole scaled to 16th works out to 50.08 mm. Sure beats the 6 mm x 16 = 96 mm.

Hatch swap. The PzVI donated the turret hatches for the PzIII. Will order replacements soon for the 4.

Why does everyone else seem to make elevation units easy? I wished you had posted this yesterday when I was struggling with my Challenger. Even inspiration from red wine didn’t help.

It is a much cheaper route than changing out to 6.1 or 7.1 versions. I have three tanks in need of those. Projects like the Priest and M32 free up extra components.

Small misunderstanding. I was looking at the linkage. Which looks like it would also work with a servo.

Those are the servo sleeves and wood mounting screws. Simply drilled a hole in scrap plastic and pressed the sleeves in (and a dab of CA).

Working on a couple ways to make the vents better. One is a speaker cover with coating removed. The second is two layers of aluminum screen one layer turned 45 degrees from the other. This time I used staples to hold layers while polyurethane was drying. The urethane makes the wires slightly thicker and glues the layers together.
