I believe that is correct. I thought about the awesome Clark unit but this seemed easier to install and I could buy it here in the U.S.

Thank you :thumbup:
They do seem to work well.
I asked because you mentioned Asia-Tam, thought I'd check.
They may be a bit long for low bustle Sherman turrets.

Son, ive got the asiatam/taigen units installed in the WSN Tiger and in the HL Jagdpanther I'm still currently doing .. Both work really well, you may need to add some spacers into the turrets to get them to sit at the right level, but not that difficult. If I had one issue with them it's the barrel elevation/depression, the range isn't that good on them. The Tiger's better than the jagd, the jagd only has around a 25-30degree range ..
The addictions getting worse... Pantiger, WSN Tiger Mid, WSN T34....And now a Jagdpanther...HELP!!!

Thank you Mr cashybai :thumbup:

Maybe I'll be better off with a shorter Clark recoil unit with a servo on the side for elevation.
