RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

run out of words with just how impressed I am with this build. Nothing short of inspirational.

First off, I would like to say thank you all for your kind words. You have no idea how much motivation they give me when I start flagging.

On to the main reason for posting. I need help. In the photo etch there is a piece which is causing me a problem. This is it. It is modified by adding two rivet heads from the kit. The problem i that aprt from this entry, it appears nowhere else in the instructions and I have been through them many times. It is on the same page as the turret so logic woud suggest that is where it belongs but I have no idea where. Hopefully this photo gives an idea of size. All sensible suggestions, or even better, photos of the actual item in place, will be much appreciated.

Your photograph makes it look as though it is hinged or perhaps its me becoming unhinged
Is there a fitting on the turret that folds away when not required?

No hinge - it is a single piece. what looks like a hinge is a double fold. I can best describe it as a small step or a kink. It obviously fixes somewhere with 2 rivets.

most enjoyable to read and follow . Thanks for the great photos to looking fw to see you test run it

SS1947,
* Has glass of Strong Booze ( tm) * You're going to have to look at pics of the Tank online to discover where on the turret that goes. It does not look like a hinge so much as it does a mounting point for a catch or a manual aim\sight.
regards and following along,
Painless

Hello Richard, I've just checked my 38T and I think I may have found the part that you are referring to, it looks like its bolted onto the side of the gun barrel, what it is or does though I have no idea lol, hope this is of some help

Cheers, Lee.

Thank you Lee- that's it. Just to make sure I am not going mad, armed with that knowledge I have gone back to the Voyager instructions and it is not there. However, I did find it eventually in the Panda ones, tucked away upsidedown in the bottom right hand corner. Previously I even looked through the Panda sprues and managed to miss it.

My confidence in the Forum has not been misplaced. Onward and upward!

Great paint job, by the way!

Glad to be of assistance Richard

Cheers, Lee.
