Happy with the progress so far and I’m privileged to be doing such a project in another’s behalf.
Jings. I go off and lay a floor. Come back and you’ve done the turret rotation, and barrel recoil. This is going to look great. :clap:

I was wondering how you were going to do the turret internals with the weaker static model kit plastic. Looks excellent. :thumbup:

Cheers folks, I’m learning on the fly.
Still room in the turret for a TC and the servos are clear of the turret side doors.

I love the solution for the recoil, do you have tested it already? Does the servo's angular movement not transfer to the barrel and cause it to rotate even a fraction?

best regards

:D Hello Mr. Bix,
as usual, always good ideas, why make things complicated? When possible, keep it simple and functional... Bravo! When I think that personally, considering the time I spend, for a result that doesn't always satisfy me? Mr. Bix, you're a genius :thumbup:
