Hi, I don't know if this is what you need, but heres a pic of a Torro "Pro" T34 wiring.

Let me know if you need any additional pictures or info, I'll be happy to help

Btw .. I noticed that this wasn't metal tub at all. Sadly this was only wheels, belts and parts of turret. Anyway. Glad if I could be of a little help.

Thanks,

Claus

You will be telling me next that the duplicated aerial stowage tubes also on the Tiger 1 is not by accident either.

..Indeed I won't, Shaun I assume that was a rhetorical question, and I've also seen how irksome for you the 'aerial stowage tubes' duplication has become from previous posts... That could bug me too. Being still fairly new to this addiction, though, my recollection
of initial searches, personal Q & A sessions, and late night serial, mindless, googling is characterised by confusion. Even now, the distinctions between the key manufacturers and players (Matorro, Mato, Taigen, Heng Long, WSN..etc) in this arena are obscure...with the exception of Tamiya: the uber-originator. The one thing they all have in common, is that their products are all made in China, probably in the same city, and possibly on the same production line. I should add, that I'm very glad that they do what they do!

Roy I am like you ever grateful to HENG LONG in particular for bringing a childhood dream belatedly to fruition,
As a child I would stare in to the model shop windows while holding my dads hand as tight as a five year old can then looking up at him wordlessly pleading and this lovely man looking down at his son knowing what was in my heart, and he trying not to break my heart but this was the early 50s and a lack of money as well as rationing left little room for expensive toys and one day never did seem to come, and only now can I achieve my childhood dreams,
It gives me endless pleasure knowing that young people today can have their dreams come true curtesy of the Chinese interpretation of capitalism.

A familiar setting and backdrop, Shaun- the Fifties...and the boy outside the model shop with eyes on springs: a model shop populated by Airfix, Hornby, Mamod, Dinky, Meccano and more .Oh, the longing for one of those Mamod steam rollers.. or even a more modest Airfix packet of forty soldiers (complete with a casualty and stretcher bearers!).. I can recall some foods coming off rationing,seeing a banana for the very first time, and hadn't a clue what to do with it..(no suggestions, please!) and the four ounce bags of boiled sweets, threepenny 'Lucky' bags (lucky for the vendor, since they were full of crap ). I'm not joking, though, when i state that I'm glad to have lived through real austerity...not the faux austerity we've had since we were buggered by the bankers...We got THIN through privation then, whereas many people these days people morph, counterintuitively, into Billy Bunters... Still, it's often said that the WW2 diet produced the healthiest crop of Britons ever...the 'We've never had it so good generation". Then came
the scourge of 'fast food' (but not food for 'fasting' )... Back on topic, the best toy I had at that time -and you only got ONE present for Christmas then, and a bag of nuts- was a cannon (looked like the trusty old 25-pounder) that fired dead matchsticks.. Wish I still had it.

Hi All, sorry for the late reply....as our neighbour Richard had bought 1, so my other half Chris had to buy 1 too....here's a few pics. He built a bridge, & can you see the bluebell ?? ha! ha!. Talk about big kid's......& now for the tank wars to begin.....Well i suppose it keeps Chris out of mischief & they seem to be having great fun shooting at each other....lol

Thanks for the info, it helped greatly & the T-34 was wired up to go. Chris had to take his apart earlier as the smoke didn't seem to work but the gasket was loose & not great, but was refitted & it works.
