New British RC Tank from Tamiya

[jhamm]

Get the Centurion yesterday.
For you interest:
the diameter of the gun barrel at the end is 14,4mm (see attached Picture)
all aftermarket 105mm/L7 gun barrel in 1/16 scale (made for Tamiya Leopard 1) have a diameter at the end of 14mm and does not fit on the Centurion or it wobbles terribly...

Could we make the hole larger and fit a brass tube as a shim?

So brass tubing with a .2mm wall thickness could shim the available 105 barrel. The tubing would need be cut open to accommodate the flat area, so could likely be expanded or compressed a tad to become a decent shim.

I know 10mm diam tubing with .2mm wall is sold on amazon. With that cut out area I bet some fitting and filing of a piece would shim it.

Got mine today. Looks like a really straight forward build with enough nice features OOB. Moulded on grab handels are decent and should look fine with fake shadows painted on, but changing for wire should be easy as well.

Anybody from the U.K. got theirs yet?

Interested to see what you got stung on customs.
