That RC Smoker is a really brilliant idea. Can you give us some details of how you did it? Very effective.

Cheers

Have to admit that is a smoke unit unit .Very nice job of the tank looks well worn and used very original .Keep up the good work .

Thanks for the comments and feedback. The smoke unit is made up of two 12v Graupner smokers which feed into a small 4cm plastic box. A computer CPU fan is fitted to the top which is wired to a transmitter operated switch ('Turnigy' receiver switch). Flick the switch and you get a large burst of smoke (ref: photo's) and then a constant (but smaller) flow of smoke afterward. Switch off again to let the smoke build-up in the box. Works quite well - although effect is much reduced when it's windy.

I've got to take her to bits again to finish the electronics - going Tamiya full-option with T03, etc - I'll post a photo of the smoke unit setup during this phase, if peeps are interested.

Cheers

Found time to do some more work on the smoking Tiger - still abit more weathering to finish-off, but she's looking quite good now. Still haven't decided about the skirts though 

The figures are from 'Sigmar109' on Evilbay - have to say they're absolutely superb quality ! They are obviously removed when the tank goes into 'smoke mode'.

It looks wicked!! it certainly gives off the impression that its a no frills ass kicking tiger Personaly, i would leave the skirts off, looks bad ass!

very nice, great smoker effect
all the best, ice
