Haya Chieftain-now with smoking, flashing, recoiling barrel

Post by 43rdRecceReg »

I drop in Andrew's website from time to time, and have come to expect something on show, or offer, that takes the hobby forward. Others have commented favourably on his TK 6.3 MFU package, and TX as well as his entrepreneurial Chieftain project. Well, here's a Chieftain getting the new smoking, flashing, recoiling barrel fitted. It's very illuminating. :)

Wonder if that barrel smoker would work on other tanks if I wired it up with the flash

I think I have one, but I bought it second hand, so can not guarantee its origins. In my example, the 75 mm gun does not move in any direction.

Better off with the vandra one. But if you're hell bent on the haya I've some magic beans with your name on too.

Having both, I'd have to say that the Haya one is the better model - the turret on the Vandra is so undersized, its comical...

I have just checked and vandras is indeed the m3 Lee.

Anyway back on topic.
Would the gun barrel smoker work with other tanks if I let’s say paired it with the flash on ibu
