Good Morning,
Looking great! Does Tamiya provide the periscope inserts for all of the scopes on this tank? The Commander's Scope looks pretty sweet with that one installed. ( or is that some sort of spot? )

Yea there is a full set of clear plastics for the various scopes and sights, but they won't be installed till after the camo has painted and sealed, saves me having to spend hours masking them off, the one shown in the pic was just test fitted for the pic

I've now finished the basic build





That's it for a few weeks while I save up for a half decent air brush and compressor

Good Afternoon,
Looking 'basically' very well done! ;o)

great stuff. Miss mine when I see a build like this. The sound is awsome in this one .

looking good fella they are a bit of a beast to build but worth all the swearing and anger or is that just me ?. i found the wires in turret a bit of a pain as there is so many in there but your doing great will be looking at your build with keen intrest keep up the good work

Yea the wiring was a little tricky, I've manage to get it so the turret top seats down well, but is still too messy for my liking so I'm planning to cut down the motor wiring and change the bulky spade connectors for 3.5mm bullets

Also I've managed to source the Tamiya Barrel Stabalizer kit for £60 from the US, so I need to make sure I have room for that, I'm guessing it fits on top of the barrel elevation servo??

To be honest id would avoid the the tamiya barrel elevation, it's quite slow to pickup movements. A submarine leveller (such as a subtec) would give you much better performance and cost less
