I can’t remember if posted this built yet, if I have I couldn’t find it!
So this is something a bit different. I’ve always liked the 76mm t34 versions and when I had the chance to pick up an early stage project of one I jumped at it.
It uses the henglong t34 chassis with the suspension arms lowered, henntec idler adjuster added, hl steel gears, metal tracks and the proper early dished wheels.
I want to try and retain as much of the interior as possible as the hatches give a good view and it seemed a shame to waste it. Also who doesn’t like a moving cannon breach!
A firewall from further back in the hull has been moved forward to make a bullhead for the drivers compartment and the battery, speaker etc sits between this in the gearbox.
Will from WCP models made me up a speaker box to fit perfectly in the available space whilst being low enough to not interfere with the rotation.
In the turret I’ve retained the elevation, recoil and flash. To get them fitting without being too obvious I mounted them hanging down under the breach block.
The turret interior has been mostly retained with the exception of the cannon triggers which hung down too far.
