Super Pershing
My super p has returned, big thanks to Frank for the conversion! I've fitted the correct impact tracks now (although they're backwards so need to swap them), next I need to fit a battle system. The pershing presents a tricky prospect for hiding one. The plan is to try short orifice tubes with the sensors behind them. Hopefully this will still allow a full range of hits whilst hiding the sensors in the turret. Also got a fair bit of detailing to add such as the turnbuckles, stowage baskets, storage bin handles, antenna and 50cal.

Ian used to sell them but I think he's stopping but you can make them yourself very cheaply.JohnWhyte wrote:Tom do you where I can get a hidden IR battle system from

Re: Super Pershing
A little update for you good people.
I've done a fair bit of work since last time, first up was fitting the emitter in the mantlet so I could reattach the whole think to the trunion as it had been damaged in the post. 6mm hole straight through and job done.
Next I cut down the fenders at the rear to match the real ones, I also swapped her onto a brand new Pershing chassis at this point and refitted the tracks correctly. I added the Schumo scope guards at this point too. I also had to clean off the uhu type glue which was all over the rear
Next up thanks to some keen eyes on Facebook I realised the side fenders needed cutting back to match the real one, mr.dremmel made short work here. I really makes a big difference to the overall look of the thing, much meaner. Lastly I fitted the turnbuckles. I asked woz about these and he very kindly printed some in resin for me. They're very very grateful but thankfully he sent some spares, when on the tank they're much more robust.
I'm still trying to work out if a hidden battle systems viable which will be the next stage. Still after a tamiya 50cal if anyone can help!
