Chieftain Mk V scratch build

Nice you figured that out. You are rather confident, bonding the servo in, eh?

The holes on the mount are in an awkward position though. Not easy to use when the servo is mounted.

Hehe, that’s the beauty of the 3 bolts holding the turret base, undo them & the servo is in your hand

Mounted the grenade launchers

Still a couple of bits to do on the turret

Hi Alwyn, any chance of a close up of how you’ve mounted them please

There you go. The pins still need trimming and supergluing before final fit, this is just first fit to get the angle/position right.

they also need a touch of sanding/filling

That bulky turret with all its accoutrements really captures the iconic Chieftain look, Alwyn. Awesome work!
