Jack and Painless' Late War Tiger 1 TOTM for July

Post by PainlessWolf »

Maybe you are out of tanks but I can enter one that we both put a lot of time into, Terry. :o) Here is a late War Tiger 1 originally built by Jackalope and painted by him from Heng Long, Tamiya and Hobby Boss parts. After I received the tank, I did a detail job and worked in the interior adding different servos, smoker, electronics, ( Clark TK-24 ) and speaker\sound from Maxmekker. This is a solid Tiger and the best running tank that I have. It is a heavy metal ground pounder! Here are the required photos and video link.

Here's my entry for July, A Coelian conversion I did for a friend.

It's a HL Panther , with standard running gear. The Coelian conversion is from Asiatam. I used a gear motor for the elevation. The targeting sights are tied into the barrels and elevates with them at the same rate. I tied the white LED's into the M/G to get a look more representative of the AA fire rate, and clear acrylic rod to light up the barrel ends..

Here's a short video, not professional by any means! :haha:
