SoCalBobS July Winner.
1/16th PzKpfw 1A
SoCalBobS has built a PzKpfw 1A in DAK colors, from a Takom 1:16 plastic display model and converted it to radio control.
Main board & speaker taken from a Heng Long 1:30 r/c Sherman tank, with transmission from an Arduino robot tank.
Headlight works, turret rotates, machine guns flash. MG barrels incorporate a brass tube, a lucite light pipe, and LED's from the Sherman. The crew and engine hatches are hinged with copper wire.
Sadly no build thread.
