Hi Peeps.
Has any one any info on the jukenburg kit for the panzer a7v, (monster) ww1 tank.
I need to know which is the best base to convert this to a going R.c. tank
Any other info would be very welcome.
Many thanks for your time.
Cheers Wads. 8)

Ive been looking around for a base system as well. I want to build a Mephisto A7V
As I cant secure a world bank loan to the GDP of Greece to finance the thing from Jukenburg ,I will scratch build one.

I have seen a few cheap basic RC earthmovers but would need at least two to get sufficient running gear.
Tracks with straight & featureless treads will do.

Hi Herman.
Thanks for the pics,
My thoughts are to plonk the shell on the base of a panzer 4, by h/l. or something.
That way have a ready made r.c. base and a w.w.1 shell of the a7v on top. most people would not know or care.
My latest pics of the veirling are on "show off". and are ok. at last.
Cheers and good luck.
Yes I agree that jukenburg are not cheep!!
and a self build should not be very hard, even for me.
All I need is the messurements.
Have a good day.
Cheers Wads. :thumbup:

I am due to return to see Mephisto. This time I will ask permission and make an appointment so I can do exactly that.
The tank normally resides in Brisbane, not more than an hour from me, but at the moment its on display at the National War Museum in Canberra..................13 hours away !!
