Carl!
What size magnets did you use that fit so neatly within the Moods support posts? I want to add those along with the ones I already installed.

Re: Crazy Joe's Sherman Rehabilitation
Paying attention to this, just got a Mato hull and turret and hopefully a HL base to fit it to.
I have a Clark servo recoil and elevation to fit to it as well.
Always wanted one but always had something else on the go.

Re: Crazy Joe's Sherman Rehabilitation
Ad Lav,
The only real pain in working with the original, plastic MATO Sherman turret is cutting the extra 1/4 ring off the bottom. If you do a lot of scratch building, even that is no big deal. The wiring is another minor issue but it sounds like you are yanking it all out like Carl did. I had to pull most of it to do the Version 2 MFU back in the day and then the difficulty came in trying to suss out the changes that MATO had made. ( no matching wire colors and 12 pin connectors to boot ) I will eventually get bothered enough to take the rewire route and add a CLARK board ( may do it sooner rather than later if this latest airgun mechanism fails like the other two )

Re: Crazy Joe's Sherman Rehabilitation
I shall just give the turret to Frank to alter!
If you need another B.B unit you can have mine - no need for it or the mahoosive gun barrel!

You are very kind. Hang onto the airgun unit. ;o) The barrel on my 'Mood' is a copper, hand turned for airsoft, job that was done by the General some years ago when I first did the rebuild on the tank. It works great ( when the airsoft unit does ).
