Hello fellow TOTM fans.
Yes, that time again, thought I'd leave starting for a couple of days to offset last month's inexcusable late start.
As always, we look forward to seeing what modelling delights a fresh TOTM brings.
For discussion about this month's TOTM, please use the dedicated chat thread here.

- Ludwig M-113 3D printed road wheels.
- Twin JGA25-370 motorization 250RPM with drive shafts to sprockets.
- Tamiya Browning M2 machine gun with Aber barrel sleeve, sight, ammo and links. M2 and barrel hollowed with embedded LED for flash.
- Classy Hobby Browning M1919 with Aber metal barrel
- Wired for Clark TK-22 control board
- Turret rotation with HL rotation unit and extra gears
- Browning M2 machine gun has servo elevation, firing with flash and sound
- Manually operable trim vane and crew hatches
- Modified DGS Commonwealth tank crew (the driver is a gift from Dean).
- Painted with Mig Ammo acrylics
- Shown in UN markings as used during peace keeping missions in the 1970+.
The complete build can be seen in the Modern build section at viewtopic.php?f=202&t=32329

NUMBER 3.
Let's try for three at least:
PzKpfw II Ausf L "luchs".
A Classy Hobby plastic display kit, modified to r/c with 35rctank's conversion kit. Made to be an outside runner, although I haven't added IR battle capacity...at least not yet until I run out of projects! Mine is painted gray, as they were operational before the official switch to dunkelgelb. Too many yellow tanks in my garage!
As I said, I wanted a runner.
My build thread is in "Other Builds"; PzKpfw II L35rctank conversion construction.
