Hi all, just added the tools, fire extinguisher and grenade mesh. Almost forgot to mention the smoke dis chargers which i have added the wiring to after looking at images on line.

Morning everyone, I have decided to add some spare tracks to the turret. I have also modelled the rear tow hook using the guide in the how to improve. One of the plastic tow cables has also been replaced with a metal one, the original clamps were drilled out and glued back in place. The cable wil be fitted in the ready for use position as shown in some photos.
I will have to extend the barrel soon I think.

Thanks Alan

Hi everyone, I have now fitted the asiatam recoil unit with flash etc. Everything is working as it should apart from the barrels not returning fully forward. It stops about half way but will move forward after pushing left stick forward on transmitter. Anyone got any ideas?

Is the ground wire (the long red one with the socket on it) connected to the negative terminal of the battery?

John
Thanks for the comments on the tiger, asiatam recoil unit is now working great. It was more operator error than anything else. Track recoil has now been sorted using a mako 2017 and double relay.
Now to start converting a pantiger into a Panther Ausf A using inspiration and following Estnische great build.
