Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
Hull machine gun travel, can't you make an elevation unit turned round 90 degrees. Small servo and gears here is a picture, just a matter of getting the gear centred on the ball mount of the mg.The big gear shown is scrap, you can buy sets of finer toothed gears.

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
Well, I have had a go at modulating the Panzer grey. I was decidely handicapped by two major factors. First was my limited airbrush skills. The second and probably more important was that I did not have a clue what I was doing or what effects I should be trying to achieve. I have not used the whole range of paints. Anyway, this is how it has ended up.
I still have the wash and filter to apply plus some mild weathering.Richard

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
An excellent suggestion. Unfortunately there is insufficient room. The pinion gear would sit within the turret ring.ronnie42 wrote:Hull machine gun travel, can't you make an elevation unit turned round 90 degrees.

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
I hope you don't mind Richard but I've added a few pics for reference as you are doing a similar paint job on yours. Unfortunately mine is only a static model as it was partially glued when I bought it and the tracks are only the plastic ones so not suitable for rc
I'm still happy with it as a display piece in my collection though
Cheers, Lee.

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38(T)
I don't mind at all. I have in mind something very similar in terms of weathering. I am even intending to use the same tank number!
