RE: The Comet is coming :-)
Nice, looks like it will be built as your previous Cromwell, i.e. assembled from several CNC sheets.
Good job so far. |

thank you :-). jes you are right, but the front part of the turret will be a moldet plastik part this time, its a bit triky to scratch it so this will be a ready part. here comes the towing part on the back plate :-). http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...zte5w6sngd.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...f6tgli4qb9.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...sjphduqvrc.jpg cu christian |

Prima....I love it. I would have some British armor if they were not so damned slow. Please keep posting pix.

That looks more like driver error!!
One of our club members is knee deep in a Cromwell build and I have to say I'm pretty jealous, it's a gorgeous and unique Rc tank. Super detailed as ALL ludwig's / chris' kits are. One day!! Nice to see a Comet, the turret looks great. |

Thank you :-) The Cromwell slow? it was one of the fastest tanks in wwII. But this is a lidel problem to relice in the Kit. The Kit is made for the 3:1 flat gearboxes from asiatam, these gears are strong but with the motor a lidel bit slow. If you put in a standart gerbox you need to modivi it a bit. cu christian |
Okay, without going to the website and figuring out all that's needed and doing the conversion over to US dollars...
... just how much (estimate) will a Comet in 1/16 cost? This is just for the kit, I would supply the gears, electronics and operational units. (I just have to have a British tank!) Jeff |
hi
i think the price will be around 430,- plus the moldet resin Parts for the turreet front and the track hould up weels, The Track and Gear is still missing this price. so the kit price will be somthing around 600 usd i think. I knew thats not cheap :-(. only the Plastic sheets for selvmade are aound 200usd i think. I m abel to get an exact price when i have finished the work at the turret front and do have done the final chanches at the cannon. cu christian |
moin
the work on the turret front is nearly ready. took a long time :-(... but a end is in sight :-). http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...03bw9pq7dj.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...i0szldg392.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...ravnildg4u.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...4jyfhmbac2.jpg http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uplo...87m6cgsakv.jpg cu christian |
