Second hand Taigen Panzer IV F2
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 4:50 pm
I have just acquired a second hand Panzer IV with metal tracks and (cheap) metal gearbox. It needs some attention and as I do with all my RC's I will like to make it unique and fairly realistic. I'll start by fixing a few things then give it a weathered paint job. I'm not going for absolute accuracy, just a decent tank.
Things to do:
Find and fix firing problem(see vid)http://sendvid.com/0pu1soae
Replace broken Cupola.
Replace broken tow cable holders.
Replace or make small top hatch. Anyone know where I can buy one, I haven't ever seen one for sale?
Add turret machine gun.
Remove mantle LED.
Fix or upgrade headlights.
Find replacement tools for the broken and missing ones.
Future mods:
Upgrade radio.
Proportional Turret mod.
Smoke upgrade.
Sound upgrade.
Rear convoy light.
Correct the mantlet which looks more like a Panzer III mantlet. (looks like a lot of work)
I love this tank in War Thunder, as you can see by my avatar.
