I am sure you can! I did not do anything too special.dougan1963 wrote:A brilliant build, especially your figures. I have two figures arriving for my Tiger 1, if I can replicate 50% of yours I will be happy!

Re: My Panzer IV
I drove the tank in Stolzdorf outskirts for a quick patrol mission and I managed to destroy a t34!

Re: Panzer IV, 1951
I enjoyed our review, Rad. Without a doubt, you've really customised the Pz IV in an admirable way, such that the tank looks good, and eye-catching, from every angle.
I've also bookmarked your link to Jeff Shiu's scale figures. They really are a bit special.
Like you, I'm a fan of the Tamiya Pz IV, although mine is still pretty much standard. Above all, it's the shell I like, as it's pretty close to the real Ausf J.
Doubtless, the Elmod would give a better electronic heart, but the Tamiya DMDs will have to do for the moment.

Re: Panzer IV, 1951
@Ad Lav, thanks, mate!
@43rd, Thank you too!
Yep, that Jeff Shiu is unbelievable. I am sorry for him and most of his job being clonned in aliexpress for a fraction the price, but he is definitelly gifted. He released a summer troops set a couple of months ago which is also impressive. It is worth to keep checking his website, he adds new things in regular basis.

Re: Panzer IV, 1951
Hi, yes, I thought about it, but it is a bit like opening a can of worms. I know how to do it in Er9x, ErskyTx and OpenTx software based radios, but don't know how to do it with non open source radios. I guess last thing I want is to have one million guys writting me how to trigger the functions with their craptaba/crapsons 4ch radios, and then being offended when I tell them most of the things are not possible with their equipment. Yeah, it happened to me in the past plenty of times, lol.ronnie42 wrote:Hi Rad Very nice figures . Noticed all you lighting functions ,is each light on an separate switch/function.

So if somebody has any question yeah, I can answer when I have time, but I think at this point I have no energy for another radio discussion.
Said that I just published a video with the mixes I have in my Panzer IV. I dont know if it will help too much due to my radio is fully customized and I am also using logic switches for the user sounds, but It might bring some guidance.
For those who don't speak german, all the german voices are translated in the order I play them in the video description.
