So here we go again.

Heres a picture showing the HL barral and tank modellbau version next to it at correct point of jointing.


Heres the new barrel


And heres the barrel installed in the mantlet with the required 75mm extended.


Putting back together


And all back together and tested.


Seems to be sticking every now and again so will have to have to keep an eye on it.

Next job is to paint the tank.

Been mostly painting but I've added a small tube to the IR LED to keep the guys happy at the monthly meets.

Here's a few picks of the painted tank with a bit of weathering. I put more in the show off section.

Hi Ian,
This is a bit later then I said but tonight I fitted my Tamiya KV 1 tracks onto my H/L KV 1 with the Asiatam lower hull and sprockets and they work great no more riding up on the teeth of the sprocket so I will be buying 2 sets of impact tracks one for the Tamiya KV 1 and one for my H/L KV 1.

Hope this helps ,sorry its a bit late.

Cheers Ken

Hi Ken.

Thanks for that info

At moment got choice of fitting suitable tracks or putting old HL sprockets on. I've not decided yet, currently focusing on my new ZTZ99 tank

Cheers Ian.

Hi Ian,
No worries mate.... look forward to seeing some pics of your ZTZ 99

Cheers Ken

Getting some electronic goodies from Kevin @ RCTA so looking forward to fitting them, will be posting lots of pictures and info once I get going.
