Peter,
Hope all is ok with your ticker (heart). Hetzer is looking great!
Best regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your concern. All went well so far. Had my second surgery on Tuesday. Got to take some blod thinner for the next 18 months...
But that won´t keep me from building...

Cheers

Peter

I wish you a good healing so that the build is even more fun.

Best wishes
Oliver

Work goes on... ... some more dry fitting.

And the final fitting test... Perfect!!
Pocket Tank!!

Finally, after the "interior" arrived, work resumed......start your engines!

Continued with mounting the gun assembly... While waiting for the battery to arrive, I started to connect the cables and modules... ... and applied a first layer of dunkelgelb... Now back to waiting for the battery...

I think its finish for Militracks Peter

As there is plenty of room, I installed the Famo battery for test purposes... Battery sits beneath the speakers.
In a couple of days we´ll be heading to the testing grounds...

Curious to hear if you get distortion in the sound with Speakers so close to the engine deck roof, I found that on another build and had to get smaller speakers then install lower in the tank with clearance above the cones.

Hi Dave,

That´s a good question... But as mentioned, the Famo battery is only for testing. The ordered Hetzer battery will be smaller, thus the speakers will sitt lower. So I don´t think this will be an issue. But will let you know.

Cheers

Peter

First track mounted...

After successfully conducting motor and electronics components tests.... I decided it´s time for some driving on hard ground.... First tests satisfactory.... Now back on the work bench for some more tlc...

While still waiting for the propper battery, JT and son made a quick trip to DK...
At first a little shy, thus under daddy´s supervision...
He soon found a new friend...
In the end, he got many more...

I really like your camo!

Thanks Marco.

While still waiting for the battery, started to add some markings During preparation for Holland next week, had time for a size comparison Safely parked for the time being
