Default T34/76 battler

And here is my new T34/76fresh from Paint shop. This will be a great little battling tank. HL lower hull resin filled for stability, Trumpeter upper, resin cast turret from Russia, Ultimate gearboxes, Metal tracks, sprockets, idlers, Clark board, upgrade speaker (stil have to put amp in) TARR II smoker proportional (still have to adjust tubes for a little more smoke), Tamiya apple, servo recoil. Want to thank my friends MichaelC and Russell for assistance with the construction...

But I thought you preferred plastic tracks

Nope, everything I have is metal except for a couple. You must be thinking of someone else!

Sweet! Any chance of a peek at the internal turret setup?

It is the tightest turret I have worked with It. I let my engineering buddies MichaelC and Russell to set most of it it up as I am overwhelmed with paint work. It uses the Clark universal recoil absolutely smooth as butter. No high intensity flash no room! I can try to take a pic or 2 on the weekend but it is mounted now so don't want to pull it apart again! :-)

I understand about not wanting to open it up. Don't mess with it if it's working. Does it also use the Clark elevation?

Don't forget to try and add a small servo to open and close the drivers hatch.
I did this in my early and late version 76's. Looks good with a russian driver inside.
