I used a computer drawing to draw the trunk cap,and made with a 3D printer.I cut out the original hatches.Only the part of the shaft is preserved.And drill holes where needed.Finally, the rotation axis is caused by dental steel wire.I added some bump on the edge of the outermost tank lid.But I don't know what they look like when they open.I wish someone would give me some pictures.

You are displaying a lot of skill and determination, 201 :thumbup: Your tank will probably be the only in the world with a hidden Chinese blessing. :D along with your unique wheel-operated machine gun turret.
With your ability to repair broken hulls, you would make a great doctor in a fracture clinic :thumbup:

Dear friend, I'm not a fracture doctor. I'm a dentist. I open a dental clinic in beautiful Xiamen.I'm honored that you like my construction. The long - term dental work has helped my model.

:thumbup: Thoroughly justified praise!
Ahh..I can understand how the complex, and even artistic process of rebuilding a tooth, could produce such transferrable skills :D
Just remember not to fit any movable MG turret gear wheels in your patients' mouths, after perfecting that technique here :thumbup: :)

Oh, I'd love to try and bury diamonds in teeth. Customers can consider taking out diamonds when needed. You know this is a very good feature in Africa.

Once again I modified the link mechanism of the machine gun turret to make it lighter and smoother.

Image

I changed the shape of the turret again. This modification makes both sides of the window look smooth.

Image
Image

I made headlights. And light it up.

I bought the driving wave box of HengLong3868.I cut the front of the drive wave box to make it easy to fit the gearbox cover.

Image

I installed the drive wave box on the chassis of HengLong Sherman.And the drive wave box is coordinated with a 5.3 controller of HengLong.

Image

I used a computer to draw the wheel and print it in 3D.

Image

Image

My remote monitoring device shows that another printing program is nearing completion. Tomorrow morning I will make another wheel. So I'm going to have two load wheels to form a wheel group for testing.

I modified the wheel group with two 3D printed weights.
Image
I installed a towing wheel for the wheel group. And install the completed wheel group on the tank. I have to do four more.
Image
Modify the body shape again.
Image
Use 3d drawing to make the induction wheel.
Image
Import him into 3D printing.
Image
Use 3D printing to complete the induction wheel.
Image
Remove the original induction wheel copper sleeve.
Image
Install the copper sleeve in the new induction wheel.
Image
Install the modified induction wheel on the tank.And test the degree of smoothness.

I installed the connecting rod system of the machine gun turret on the smoke machine interface of the HengLong controller.The output voltage of this interface is 7.9 volts.So the gun turret spins too fast.To solve this problem.I installed a voltage - reducing system for the machine gun turret.At last I got the satisfaction of the gun turret spinning speed.
Image
Through testing I found that the connecting rod system of the gun turret would interfere with the rest of the body.So I modified the link system again.After the modification, the gap of the connecting rod system is smaller and the height is reduced by 5 mm.
