RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Yes we’ll on the accounts front, there are a few...and other hobbies that line them...legitimate hobbies that is!!!

A mate has my compressor and airbrushes so a quick word in his shell like and hopefully they haven’t been left to ruin in his work space.

I’m keen to try out zimmerit on this tank as well as a proper camp job on it.

I noticed that the previous owner has also moved the antenna on to the left back of the turret. I’m sure on these they were originally behind, beside the grills.

This bodes well for what I hope is also an upgraded motor!!!

Just re-checked. It has upgraded gears (metal) as well.

My apologies to anyone who was bidding on this on eBay.

Doctors? How should we proceed now the diagnosis has been so profoundly displayed?
I propose medication of thinners and acrylic paint for now, a stronger prescription may be required !

Yeh...once I commit to something, it’s all in!!

Shame there aren’t any clubs around where I am. Well, that’s my justification for a second tank, I mean, how else am I supposed to have a battle??!??!

It has arrived and some pictures for you of the upgrades. Turns out it is the MZ Promotion version hence some of the upgrades...

...although I have to say, it’s a proper rats nest of wires inside this one!!!

I know what you mean, I got my first at an auction, thought do that up and sell it that didn't happen, now have 4, a K/T, Panzer iv,
Tiger and a Panther F, and am now looking at the US half track by Torro. Will this ever end, i'm thinking not

Does anyone recognise the smoker unit in this tank. I can’t seem to find a similar one online to know it’s capabilities.

That looks like a modified original (early) smoker
Looks like someone removed the motor and piston, then did the fan mod.

Edit: it doesn't look like it'll have a small circuit board, so it won't be able to be made proportional without it, but if it's working, it should pump out more smoke than a standard one, but it should be a steady stream.

Thanks for that. Quite a neat mod.

This tank will be my tinkering tank and the first I’ll re-paint too. Am thinking worn winter camo.

Yes it is neat and smaller, we have a thread about doing it here on the forum somewhere. I've bought a few little fans to try it myself

That tiger obviously had an owner that was quite interested in RC tanks.

As for your worn winter camo, that's my favourite looking tiger camo

Here's that smoker mod thread.
