This project was a bit of a curious happenstance as I remember wanting this kit in the early '80s but never really made the effort to own it. I happened upon a good deal on ebay about a year ago with the metal track and I couldn't resist. I added Tamiya Panther Gearboxes and Jagdpanther Electronics (they were on sale--- thank you JR-RC) Servo elevation and upgraded Tamiya traverse with a faster motor. Gun tube was surgically altered and a King Tiger recoil was added (only one in my spares box)

Elevation was replaced with the components from a Tamiya Leopard 2A6 and the recoil tray from the same was altered to align with the gun tube and KT recoil. I tried using the Leo 2 recoil but the motor seemed to only go half speed in its un modified state with the JagdPanther MFU. I used an old WSN speaker and modified the engine deck (drilled holes) and the hull brace to fit. I am never worried about high volume as most of my use is in a social setting.

Battle system mounted in Loaders hatch, used and old Tiger mount and several of those plastic mounts for the Tamiya Sherman external antenna. (I have a dozen spares from over the years.)

Tank runs pretty good for a franken tank. Cosmetic work begins now and should be ready for our Jan 9 event.

Enjoy
