Hi Guys. I've just acquired a Trumpeter 1/16 T34/76 and was planning to convert to RC. If this is possible, I would like your expert help with suggestions of what I will require for the task. Can you please draw me up a shopping list with abll park pricing so that I can build up stock before I commence.

Cheers guys.

I think you need to swap that T34/76 turret for a much better 85mm one Brian. I just might know someone that could help you out there LOL! ;D

It was worth another try. I can always hope on the off-chance I suppose!
LOL!

Hi Brian. I've put my old T34 build photos in the 'Builds' section. Hope it sort of helps.

Cheers
Chris ;D

I've got an RC WSN T34/85 scrapper you can have. Minus tracks & gear boxes. Upper hull & turret intact.
Will bring it along to the Washington meet on 11/12/08 if you like.

Cheers
John

Lots of food for thought there guys. Hi John, your scrapper T34 would be superb. I may not be at the meeting on the 11th but we have a lock up cupboard which Tony can sort if you get down. I have already mailed Trumpeter about the availability of spare turret sprues etc so I'll wait and see if I get a reply.

Thans again everyone.
