Chieftain build by Phil Woollard.

[Vince Cutajar]

Finished?

No way, the smoke control system is with Adrian for an upgrade as my blower requires a lot of current, so that needs fitting, the engine needs all the bolts, more detail, painting and weathering, the commander's cupola kit will be with me soon, so that needs assembly and fitting. The kit bins need filling with kit.
Then we come to the mechanical side the proving of the motors and gearbox and drive train, I hope all that goes well. I'm not an aggressive driver and drive respectfully at all times. I like to use the two stick control so I can feel each motor and gearbox and the running gear, input over output!
It's a powerful brute and the owner will want it to be reliable, realistic and smooth!.......Then it might be finished!

[Adrian Harris]

Still working on the upgraded smoker control.

I had it working with a normal smoker fan then a turret turn motor then thought I'd try a Tiger drive motor. Fzzzt

Have ordered some new boards with dual high power MOSFETs, so will go again when they arrive.

[Phil Woollard]

That sounds intense Adrian but it should be bullet proof! Don't forget the separate fan control fine tuning pot for me. I can't wait to get it outside with a green backdrop, the smoker belching away with the L60 howling loudly!

[Ivano Costantini]

On the last day, tomorrow, I close the reservation for the purchase of the L60. If someone still wants to participate, last hours available to do it.
Thanks Ivano[dropshadow][/dropshadow]

[Phil Woollard]

The engine bolts have arrived Ivano, so I better get on with that job today!

[Phil Woollard]

You just can't beat the quality bolt head look

[Ivano Costantini]

Phil, in the kit, if you deem it appropriate, to imitate the cooling pipes, I can insert a spring which, once shaped, can be covered with a heat shrink tubing.

[Phil Woollard]

Yes that would be a great addition !

[Ivano Costantini]

OK, no problem, I'll take care of the cost.
To all friends:
LAST HOURS TO BOOK THE ENGINE;
don't miss the chance to own a good L60 for your tank!

[Phil Woollard]

Chieftain owners need to support Ivano by purchasing one of these superb L60 engine slices. It's a Labour of love for the guy as he will barely break even! It's not a lot of money and will greatly enhance your model.

Dear friends,
many write to me because they are afraid of not being able to mount the engine. Look, it's extremely easy, I don't provide instructions because it's all very intuitive, just look at the many photos on the forum, there are no particular changes to make. Even if you decide to complete it with the wonderful details created by Phill, there are no complicated jobs to do, even those without Phill's skill can do it. Anyway me and probably, I think, Phil too, we are available to help you in case of problems. Some people tell me they thought it was cheaper. I'm sorry, but to have an excellent product, where it is not necessary to clean or adjust all the pieces, as happens in other kits, but just mount it, I think the price is more than good. I remind you that many parts are in 3D and there are more than 200 bolts. With few sales, at the moment we have made maybe 6 reservations, it was not possible to do better. I'm sorry, but that's what I can offer you. Thanks Ivano

[Ivano Costantini]

Dear gentlemen friends,
i believe that the reservation can be considered completed.
In light of the numbers collected, it is with regret that I inform you that I will not be able to exercise the lowest price.
The engines sold are less than 15. To confirm the purchase please pay the deposit by Sunday. The balance before shipping (I hope before August 15). Please pay with the formula "transfer money to friends" otherwise I refuse the payment, alternatively you must add 6.5%. You can also pay by bank transfer. I have communicated to everyone the cost of the purchase, but if I have forgotten someone, please contact me again.
By Sunday I also accept latecomers, we are very far from 15 units. For a check on the number of engines sold, I cannot list the buyers for privacy reasons. If you want to check it, declare the purchase in the forum. Thank you all for your patience and collaboration, I remain available for any information.
Please communicate the shipping address.
My PayPal is: ivano.costantini@alice.it
I hope you understand what I wrote. Thanks again Ivano

[Ivano Costantini]

Dear friends,
9 people booked the engine, but currently only 2
sent the advance. I have no problems, the price I communicated remains the same even for only two engines. I understand that many of you have work commitments and maybe only tomorrow will be able to devote yourself to the hobby and send the advance. Please, I kindly ask you to communicate if you are no longer interested. This is to avoid misunderstandings, misunderstandings and delays to the detriment of those who paid the deposit. On Monday I will send the files to the printing laboratory, it would be a problem to have to change the order. I hope you understand the usefulness of being informed, there are no problems.
I thank you all again and wish you a good Sunday. Ivano
