Hull machine gun travel, can't you make an elevation unit turned round 90 degrees. Small servo and gears here is a picture, just a matter of getting the gear centred on the ball mount of the mg.The big gear shown is scrap, you can buy sets of finer toothed gears.

- This setup gives you an idea for fixing the wobble.

Well, I have had a go at modulating the Panzer grey. I was decidely handicapped by two major factors. First was my limited airbrush skills. The second and probably more important was that I did not have a clue what I was doing or what effects I should be trying to achieve. I have not used the whole range of paints. Anyway, this is how it has ended up.
I still have the wash and filter to apply plus some mild weathering.

An excellent suggestion. Unfortunately there is insufficient room. The pinion gear would sit within the turret ring.

I don't mind at all. I have in mind something very similar in terms of weathering. I am even intending to use the same tank number!
