RE: Tamiya 1/16 M26 Pershing Full Function
Nemesis:
I did my Sherman the other way round, slicing off the bottom of the box to make it more shallow so I can put a pair of sticl-packs flat in the belly. Then again, the Sherman speaker box does not have bolts that secure it to the floor because you are supposed to double-stick tape it to the sponson-flanges.
But for my Pershing, I won't have this problem... I'm using a partially stripped one... basic DMD plys traverse unit & servo-elevation. I'll be rigging a flash from one of the three old King Tiger units I was given (yes, they ALL work) and I'll be all set.
Just need the Schumo Idler and a few other bits, and my M26 will be ready to roll, especially with most of the snow gone now!

That looks great with the blackened muzzle brake!
I cut my speaker box off, re-sealed it and the sound quality didn't change at all!
