Good Morning!
Authentic battle damage and a prompt ( in your case anyway ) field repair! ;o) Following along.
regards,
Painless

That's good repair work! I suppose since it's raining all the time out there, you can hide indoors and hobby-ize.

Gee, in the photos I see a familiar set of nut drivers: they must be what drove me nuts. And that barbecue sauce in the yellow tub: is that for when the Tiger lights up Shermans on the grill?

Looks like the old speed control went up !!?
Did you get hold of a rear plate ?

I have a TAMIYA rear plate, with a hole in it, that I got for free, happy to pass it forward if you can’t get anything else ,for free.
Good luck bringing the old horse back to life, it will be well worth the effort

Indeed lol, I use the cup for mixing pigments these days.

I will take you up on that! I will pay the postage. The parts tree that piece is on is discontinued and nonexistent anywhere.

Will do a picture later

Hi,dont know how far you are going to upgrade this but the original turret rotation unit is very well engineered but bulky. If you search RC Universe site and look for a build of a Tamiya Porsche King Tiger by PCOMM1 you will see he incorporated the old turret rotation unit with Tamiya late model electronics. You said the muzzle brake is broken. Do you need another one as I have one you can have. Regards John.

tell you about this one? this is not the original turret rotation system? unless not the right subject

I do need a muzzle brake, thank you. Message me for details.
