Inspiring work! Can you share how you rigged the motors/electronics in that small Schmalturm space (photos will be helpful). I'm planning to do one. Thanks.

The schmalturm turret internals are all Tamiya parts (except for the rotation unit). The recoil is from the Panther/Pershing (small recoil movement) and the elevation unit is also the stock standard Tamiya part. There is even a socket from Impact for a Battle Unit plus a IR Diode in the gun barrel, I left the flash unit off this one.

If and when I have to take the turret apart for maintenance I will take a pic of the inside and post it here for you to have a look at. For now I would like to let sleeping dogs lie. I did take a photo of the inside but cannot locate it on my computer.

It was a very tight fit as I remember and a bit of a bother to do.

Cheers

Alan
