Up and running Leopard 1A4 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7whfaftMg0

The Leo 1 is my model, a keeper, and this is the last of both Tamiya Leopard and Gepard collaboration modelling builds with Daryl.

The commissioned work in progress (almost finished) Gepard Flakpanzer uses a BARC electronics system, Benedini sound, dual speakers and a new Futaba 8J transmitter (8 channels). A Gepard ops video later (maybe) and I sent the model back to Daryl Turner to complete a few details and present the model to the new owner.

Next up is a metal Torro IR Jagdtiger collaboration build to be converted to Tamiya Tiger DMD, MF and TBU electronics. Will add main gun traverse and install a Tamiya Pershing recoil unit, the modelling will start this month

Enjoy, John

Look fantastic John......

That is very nicely done

".....Daryl Turner designed and fabricated lift deck for easy battery swaps and servicing during IR play..."
Any chance of seeing a few closeups of the deck lifting/locking mechanism? I'd been thinking myself of devising some quick-entry mechanism that didn't involve magnets, Taigen's quick-release mechanism, or a combination of both?

Deck lift hinge, bracing and latch photos. John

What an ingenious setup you have there very well done

I am very impressed with the whole setup
Another tank that is as impressive inside as well as outside!
