BMP 1 turret

Post by Meter rat »

I am looking towards a build to take on holidays, and planing ahead. It will be lorry based, on a WPL Ural. I need a BMP1 turret. I have found this company. https://www.3dtlac.xyz/en/product/bmp-1 ... -rc-model/
Does anyone know anything about them? Good or bad. Are any other companies available that make them? Ludwig’s site is a little unclear.
Second. I am thinking of using a WPL board. This will give engine sound, steering, and speed control. It will also give turret rotation, using the winch control.
Are there any truck boards that will also give gunfire, and gun elevation? I think Clark may do one, but it seems it may not be available.

I have purchased those STL files and the turret is very basic. It doesn't have a lot of detail, doesn't elevate, has no recoil, and doesn't even have a turret rotation gear. From what I've seen comparing it to the real vehicle, I think the turret isn't all that accurate either if that is a concern for you. In fact, there is nothing that holds the turret onto the vehicle. It was one of the first vehicles I printed, but never finished it due to those issues. The tracks aren't that great either. Now that I'm better with my printers and designing parts in the slicer, I may revisit the project.
