Thanks Robert,

Now working on the pins to secure the tracklinks and the towing cables.

Image

Image

Now towing cables are painted with Tamiya metalic grey. A little bit difficult to see in the piture to go from primer to metalic grey.

Image

Also working on the MG gun ball mount with servo. I already did a moving test with the micro servo in the kit and the servo is not strong enough to move the MG so i change the bracket with a bigger servo ( pictures coming soon )

Best regards Yves

Great work so far!
I have onbe questions: On your pictures there is a coverplate for the speakers. Is it self made?
With my Hetzer kit there where no speaker covers and I thougt building some kind of mash over it.
We all know that moment, when something drops in an unfortunate moment and damage the speaker with no cover. :(

Hello Timo,

Yes the covers for the speakers are selfmade to protect the speaker from damage them.
A lot of work the drill all the holes, but i lay the 2 plastic plates together safe some time.
