Fitting the latest brushless motion pack components to my Armortek Panzer IV

[Johnf]

My Panzer IV has had no motion pack fitted. I recently picked up the latest motion pack from Armortek.

I have put together the following video to show how I assemble the components and bench test. Also how I connect up my 22ah 12v batteries.

I have finally started to paint and weather my Armortek Panzer IV. It has been built for a few years but on hold when my twins were born. Now big enough to help.

Next I move onto painting and weathering the wheels for the Panzer IV. Also show my airbrush work station for working on the smaller items.

Here is full video.

Every effect though in a massive scale has been carried out to the N'th degree mate.
Fantastic results & thanks for sharing your progress with us.

Thanks Herman

I have finally started work on Shürzen. At least on hull. Working from bottom up. Turret will follow. Using drawings from Panzer Tracts which are in 1/10 and 1/20 scale as template. Scaled up to 1/6.

I made up the brackets from the drawings without checking the model. Credit to Armortek, the brackets are a perfect fit without adjustment.

Now ready to start painting the upper hull. Not certain of what to paint. Have one in mind but might alter camo style a bit.
