The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Yves, Vanavond sprak ik met Lee, hij zal contact met je opnemen over de touwen
groeten uit Engeland.

Hello Mark,

I already ask Monique for the panther cables.
Regards Yves

Little touches like the replacement barrel makes all the difference, adds much interest which some find hard to achieve,

Regards phil.

Hello,

Some more work on the panther,
Made 2 towingcables




Towinghook now finished



Made a little modefication for the track tension,
to keep the tension bolts in place.





Also started on the electronics



Regards Yves

Nice improvement for the track tensioning bolts!
I hate when they just fall into the hull and you have to disassemble to reach them.
Gotta try that!

I agree the track tension bracket idea is excellent. I like it better than a machined solution.

Excellent details all around - you've added a lot of extra parts! $$$$

Great build - good to see progress!
Bob

Thanks for the nice comments on my build,
next few days i am gonna airbrush the wheels and put them on the swingarms,
then my build is gonna stop for a while because i have to go to the hospital
for a tennis elbow operation
Hopefully i can start soon back on my build.

Regards Yves

Yves
I will miss your progress posts! But wish you the best for your surgery and quick recovery!
Bob

Thank you Robert,

I hope i can start back after 2 weeks little by little,

Best regards Yves

Hi,

Here are the pictures of my servo controled back turret hatch.





Best regards Yves

Hi Yves,

That's what I like to see moving bits. Looking good.

Dennis.

Hello,

Thanks Dennis, its a lot of work to make the hatch work properly,
i test the hatch by hand moving the servo arm but is see that if i wanne open it the hatch tilts to the right,
so maybe i have to use a spring so that the hatch remains parallel with the back of the turret.

Best regards Yves

I had similar problems with opening and closing the rear doors on the 251.
