Nice work

Well done, Kaczor! Is your father a machinist? The gearing makes for excellent speed reduction and must give that little Renault remarkable power.

Yes he is And yes, torque and power is improved now but mostly we wanted a more realistic speed. Tamiya 70097 twin gearbox is great for such projects. Unfortunately 203:1 ratio configuration would not fit and additional reduction was needed.

Machine gun is a mix of Aber kit and brass tubes soldered together. 1 mm fiber optic was used. Test:

You´re doing a good job of RC-ing this tiny pretty tank!
I like the functionality

Nice job!

Seeing this gives me the inspiration to get back on with my own build.

After painting and little wash. Still some details need to be painted. Polish camo from 1939. When Germans invade, Polish Army had about 100 pieces. They were then very outdated and had little impact on the fate of the campaign.

Aw, Kaczor, maybe that little Renault was no threat to the Germans, but it just blows me away! What a great job you have done!
