RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi I have finally finished my MK 1V after two repaints, The first didn't cure properly and stayed tacky,I may not have put enough hardener in the mix.I was going to Paint it dark earth brown but I was persuaded to do my normal practice which is to shot blast and spray clear etch and then lacquer.

That is pretty special, is that fully scratch built or is it a kit, either way looks like a work of art.

Hi the tank is fully scratch built at 1/16 scale made mostly of aluminum,with all the fittings fabricated out of brass and steel.

That looks like a very impressive and skillful build, great job

Cheers, Lee.

Absolutely stunning work! I love the mkIV

Without question, that's something to be truly proud of

Fantastic, do you have any videos of it running?

Not at this time I have run it on it's tracks by wiring them up direct.I am hoping to get my IBU2 wired in next week.the problem I have is that I have 7 miniature motors and reduction gearboxes driving the guns pluss I need 2 Chanel's for the tracks.I need to workout how to control them all,When I get it all going I will post a video.thanks for the compliment.this model has been a long build.there is something like 3000 plus rivets that's without the problem of making the tracks,Roy
