To adjust it, you need to remove the cannon from the turret and check it in this condition. there is a nut on the solenoid rod. you can unscrew it a little. this will increase the recoil length.

My friend helped me do the welds on the turret and round hooks (the printed ones are too delicate).

I will be making this tank from Kursk (or at least something similar in appearance):

Since the example I chose doesn't have side fenders, I had to modify the "sponsons", without them there was an ugly gap. Made of aluminum profiles.

I like that. After I did my T34-85 redux, I new I wanted to do another and likely a 76.

I like a nice '76. It took me a long time to finish mine, but it was worth it.

The wheels are from Trumpeter kit.

Kaczor: of course, again this T-34/76 demonstrates your usual excellence. Even though I run my tanks slowly and almost always indoors, I would have been tempted to try its climbing straight from the brick path up the curb. Maybe it is good that I stay indoors. :O
