Hay guy's i'm looking for these parts in the pic for a scratch built Jagdpanzer IV L/70 V I picked up a couple years ago don't want to order a conversion kit just to get these parts .

Hey Jimmy: Where did the metal parts come from in the picture? Are you wanting to make a new Jp IV/70 or finish that model? How do you plan to make the barrel move with internal mechanisms? What about recoil? PP

Hi Panzerpaul the pic is from Martins build im still working on the Jagdpanzer from a couple years ago the parts you made for me turned out to be just a little to big don't look right on 1/16th .

Yeah those were for the 1/15th Bandai version. I still have not finished mine yet....am stuck on how to make the barrel move in all directions and recoil.......hence the question about how you plan to solve the problem.

bowlman

Make a brass barrel tube and mount mounted on a u shaped metal bracket that is bolted on a peace flat stock . Take a servo with the board removed have that move the barrel left to right and use ether the Tamiya or HL barrel elevation mech to elevate barrel .

Or one other way is use the Asiatam elevation and recoil unit for the Panzer III / Stug its all in one then have it mounted on a bracket and move left to right by a servo .
On the other hand some have been having problems with this recoil unit mite be better to just mod a HL unit and make it work .

I cheated and bought the Tank-Modelbau.de barrel . The attachement to the hull will still be a challenge, but at least the recoil is taken care of.

bowlman

That's kind of how I was looking at it then make a recoil mount add a u shaped peace of metal on a pivot for left to right movement by a servo .
The only problem is its a small area for elevation movement would have to put electronics all in rear .
This is were its at at this time .

Here is another shot of it .

Make them out of wood Jimmy. Balsa carves and shapes really well plus picking up a 1/35 kit can help you get the size and shape correct.

I got the 1/35 kit it came with the Jagdpanzer IV L/70/V yes could do it that way but am still looking to see if maybe some one out there makes one in plastic .
Or could try one with milliput would be nice if some one had a mold .
