Default RE: Second 1/12 scale Panzer rebuild under-way

In the field moddifacation,And the gun is very big and way out of scale.And my tank personel is for the 1/16 size tanks,used what I had on the work bench.Test fired it last night and it does look kind of neat with the flashes coming from the end of the gun barrel instead of just the front of the tank.Being a used tank that I'm redoing I had checked the cannon to see if it fired,it shoots but it wouldn't shoot BB's.Took it apart and the rubber seal was jammed in such a way that the BB's coulden't feed into the gun.This is the first time I have taken one of the gun units apart,and when I got it back togeather and test fired it I striped a gear.Didn't have something right when I put it back togeather.I have other gun assemblys but this gun on the panzer is built a little different than the ones on the HL models,but some of the internal parts are the same.Took a gear out of one of the other gun assemblys and installed it,but still trying to figure out how this rubber seal goes into this unit.The gun now fires but without this seal it will not shoot any BB's.
Will try to figure this out today.When I get the gun working right,only have some wiring left to finish off the tank.Then I'll do a bunch of test running. BIGMIG
