Recoil and elevation setup. The top of the mantlet is wrong shape if you want +15 and -8 or +20 and -10 degrees for the elevation/ depression and fit the debris guard . Going to reshape the mantlet, its RC so getting the mechanics correct is a must before getting everything else done. Found out recoil was 420mm ? so thats 26.25 scale, had to fit a larger cog for the recoil travel.

Love your work. Top job in the turret set up mate.

Thinking the mantlet was designed by the person who done the JP one . Going to make one and move gun pivot position . Pictures are worth a thousand words and save rambling on about the build.

I'm particularly impressed by the elegance, and simplicity, of the micro-servo recoil solution, Ronnie. Your arrangement could also be a good fit for my Comet Cheers!

Turret done , fixed mg has no guard over mg hole , no gunners sight filled in and made new gas brackets plastic ones far too thick .

Turret, gun ,basket and sub assemblies ready for some paint. wrong panther , where is the delete

Now the turret is fixed lets unfix the upper hull. Started the brass work , going for hull side damage . The F was a paper panzer , so war drags on and fighting in villages and towns lasts until late 46. Will have turns damage , corners etc. 1st up the jack block holder.

Some more damage to the front tool rack.

This is another fix required ,don't like the shadow. Will move cupola or reshape to turret roof edge . Couple of pics on web show rear and cupola appears to be on the edge of roof.
