Cheap Tiger 1. Not so Cheap

[PainlessWolf]

Good evening,
It's really coming along. The new barrel is a huge improvement over the stuck in recoil one. Following along.
regards,
Painless

suffit de trouver comment faire fonctionner l'élévation. :coup de tête:
For what ? not to reuse the Tamiya system? Or a servo motor? in both cases, there will be a bit of mechanics (simple) to perform

are you also missing the lifting hook? identical to those located on each side of the Mantelet

non je n'ai pas encore créé le point de levage.
Tamiya recoil is used..Heng Long cannon will be used. I think that is what you refer too.
Le recul Tamiya est utilisé. Le canon Heng Long sera utilisé. Je pense que c'est aussi à ça que tu fais référence.

I was talking about reusing the existing Tamiya elevation system? or a servo?

Oui. Je vais transferer le point de levage.

The Tamiya elevation unit has been modified and installed. I just need some inspiration from some red wine.

Red wine ? Burgundy or Bordeaux?

Malbec.

Today it ran under its own power. Took it into work and one of the residents helped build up the lower. They all have degrees of dementia. This gentleman was a Royal Engineer, and his mechanical skills had not diminished. His only comment “bloody German tank”.
Still having problems with the recoil, waiting on brass parts for the elevation unit, to replace the broken Tamiya part. But the exhaust works, as does the turret, and we drove it, much to his delight.

Temporally assembled for testing.

Malbec
Malbec is a black grape variety used in the production of red wines. It is one of the six grape varieties authorized in the blends of Bordeaux reds, in particular because of its color and the robustness of its tannins. It is planted mainly in Cahors, in the south-west of France.

Great if it works, a few minor tweaks left? what's the problem with hindsight?

Meter Rat, what a wonderful thing you have done to enrich the life of one who suffers from dementia!
