Hey Brothers
Here is some video of the first test of my home made super duper no cost recoil and flash made from junk. From hair dryer parts to an old DVD player. Of course I could have saved a ton of time and bought a recoil, but heck this was a real hoot to do.
I used the stock plastic barrel that I added to with an old Tiger barrel, and I replaced the elevation with one from a PZIII. I now have a ton of room left in the turret.
I recommend everyone search for junk to make into tank parts.
