I think Heng long must be planning on a Stug. This thing has removable side panels that I popped off with a screw driver , prior to adding the styrene sides for the stug.

Here are a few pictures to show you what Ihave done so far.

Will your gun be fixed in place or will it move side to side and up and down?

Status: online 		I am planning on a elevating gun bbl, some movement side to side will be present due to the mechanics of the rotating heng Long cam design. THis however will not be controlled and will just be a fact of the mechanics of the bbl riding along the rotating cam. I experienced this with my Stug IV. Looks cool to people watching, so I left the slop in. I could have tightened up the assembly, but because these guns did actually have a little lateral movement I left it in.

My poor tolerances in design resulted in a side benefit!!!!!!

Status: online 		I got the basic superstructure done and gave it a blast of "hammered steel" I opened up both rear hatches for batterying charging and on-off switch.

Gun elevation is installed and working.

Now time to work on the chassis installing all those metal upgrades I bought.

Sweet, all metal, I bet that is going to drive nice and heavy, it will probably even rock forward when you hard break with the momentum turned on with the DBC!

Noticed all your nice little hinges for the doors. Did you fabricate them yourselves, or get it from somewhere?

This unit is still in it stripped stage, Right now there is nothing in it. This will have a DBC installed after I have finished painting it. I have the stug gearboxes to drop in as well so I am hoping it is a good runner.
