Bought a few servos as the elevation one on the F was on its way out. New metal geared one and to make its life easier, epoxy resin and some lead sheet to counterbalance the barrel. Metal barrel and the pigs head mantlet in metal made the servo struggle.
lead covered in chocolate brown epoxy to balance the barrel.

Starting to set up switches, SD up gun and SD down MG. Only issue is if SD not centred elevation does not work , a couple of push buttons might be fitted as i prefer them. As i have lost the S1 and S2 pots using SE up to set a higher volume.

Tracks painted again and varnished , only another 4 sets of spare track links to do. Going to use Mr Surfacer for a uniform cast like surface , hard to get a rough texture with paint that looks good on each track link.

Might run the razor saw down between the tracks that are touching.
