RE: JUMBO Build
Sorry for the delay in updates, our baby is due soon and guess who has 'honey due' lists that I never imagined. I have managed to squeeze tank time in and my excuse is 'clearing the bench' to make room! Tank now has MATO metal suspension, drive shafts to mate the MATO sprockets and Tamiya gearboxes. I modified a Mato trans cover to be the thicker version (still shaping) and the mantlet has been a brute force effort.
Pershing recoil unit, Pershing recoil stay, 75mm barrel is from the DAK private stock. Mantlet began as Mato with many layers of CA and Styrene. All sanded down repeatedly.
Elevation in simply the tamiya unit but this time it has standard RC arms from countless servo packs and no ball jounts. Metal elevation arm of course.
