Good afternoon!
Well done! Mato will have to hope that the one that they are bringing to market is even a quarter as good as this. Again, Well Done!

Really fantastic work. Love the gun details and the entire build. Congrats. Would love to see some video of it if you ever get any of it in action.

Hi,

as I've said yesterday, I post some pictures of the construction of my M10 TD :

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

All the upper hull and turret are made of 2mm thick plastic card. The base of turret and the gun are made from an H.L. Pantatiger.

I've changed the H.L. elevation device for a simple servomotor without pot.

Image

Image

When I've changed the H.L. breech for the true one, I've modified the gun elevation system, now, located under the turret :

Image

Image

I hope that pictures shows suffisantly clearly the steps of the construction and gives ideas for other constuctors !
