Tamiya African rc Kubelwagen

Post by EddyK »

Hi, gentlemen!
Now I’m resurrected after more than half a year without nothing done in 1/16 modeling.
A couple years ago I’ve bought partly built rc Kubel. I’ve ordered some African sprues and tires and started the build.
This evening I’ve made jerry can holders from the copper installation cable.

That looks very good Eddy :clap:

Are you saying you squashed the wire flat first?

To squash your copper wire, did you pass the wire between two ball bearings fixed to a plate with a smaller gap between the bearings than the wire size?
