Looks like you'll need some impact gear boxes, 540 motors and dropdown gears!

That little turret is begging to be motorised :)

I'll probably be using the black steel 4:1s as the first upgrade. I'm going to make all the cupolas spin, will be hooked up to a 360 servo running off the knobs on my 9x

Tom, the KV-5 is sweet.......... You beat me to it buddy.

You know who to call when you are done with it and is moving on.......... :-)\

BTW, I am submitting your F to a model show here in two weeks with your name on it.......... Its more for fun as they are holding a 1/16 table just for the tank club members.

Michael,
As Tom and others like you have shown, our moving 1/16 scale armor can look just as detailed as a 1/35 static masterpiece ( and even more so when you consider that a lot of our external details function ;o) Go out and win a trophy! Good luck with the KV-5, Tom, I need to look into paper panzers one of these days as well. I'll be following per usual.
regards,
Painless
