Looks like you'll need some impact gear boxes, 540 motors and dropdown gears!
That little turret is begging to be motorised

I'll probably be using the black steel 4:1s as the first upgrade. I'm going to make all the cupolas spin, will be hooked up to a 360 servo running off the knobs on my 9x

Tom, the KV-5 is sweet.......... You beat me to it buddy.
You know who to call when you are done with it and is moving on..........

Michael,
As Tom and others like you have shown, our moving 1/16 scale armor can look just as detailed as a 1/35 static masterpiece ( and even more so when you consider that a lot of our external details function ;o) Go out and win a trophy! Good luck with the KV-5, Tom, I need to look into paper panzers one of these days as well. I'll be following per usual.
regards,
Painless
