RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi,
i have to do this little beast, because i dont have any tank from the world war II.I want to join historical RC battles, so i have prepared this.
Classic gearboxes dont fit to Hetzer, because frontal armor is too close to the axle.
I have used geared JGA25-370 geared motors and closed belts for 3d printers (GT2).

There is 4 servomotors inside - two of them for the horizontal and vertical movement of the gun, one for the reciol and one 360° servo for the machinegun.
I have figured out a design for the workable gunners periscope and workable hatches.3D printable track tensioner is a standard for my builds.
I have printed a very first prototype in configuration "everything printed" - with 3D printed jack, shovel and other details.I will try a version with a accessories maded from the steel (later).

This one is printed with the 0,3mm nozzle, 0,1mm layer.Materials ASA and PET(G).I have used XTC-3D for the surface preparation and AMMO of Mig Jimenez colors.
Photos from the inside coming soon

OMG!!!
That looks stunning!
Will you be making the stl’s available?
Cheers

It looks as if it has just emerged from a Tamiya-quality mould, or the most recent of HL's pressings. The lines are wonderfully crisp and detailed. I'm sure there will be enthusiastic takers is you make a few, or post the print files

Wow wow!!! now that's a really cool tank. One of my favorites and I will be following this one closely

Looks amazing. Great quality.

Thank you, everybody.
I have just average 3D printer with 0,3mm nozzle.
Clean and detailed 3D printed model is a question of the design and postprocessing.

And YES, i will release this STL files in few months.Its my goal to provide STL files of the (really) 3D printable RC tank kits.

Superb, wish I had a printer.

Excellent news, I’ve always wanted a Hetzer, thanks!
You can always tell a good model when it’s designed with the limitations of 3D printing in mind!
