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

Now its going on with the interior.
First its going on with the battery. Amazing the size between 10 to 15Ah. The 10Ah is from the Famo because not enough space for bigger one.
I have in the StuG a two deck system for the electronic, so enough space for the big battery and a two speaker box for sound.

Hello Florian!
Have you also tested the drive with the 10Ah battery? I would be interested in whether it is sufficient, apart of course from the possible driving time.

Hi Michael,

No, I haven't tested it. It would certainly work.
My FAMO weighs about 120kg and runs with the 10Ah battery for about 30 minutes.
With the FAMO, I built the battery so, that I can change it quickly. With the StuG it is permanently installed and cannot be changed quickly. So I decided on a stronger one.

Cheers
Florian

Today some more metal work at the turret.
Made the ring to connect the AP hatch

Did some more electric work today. Next comes the soundbox in working process.

By the way... there are coming some new big projects for the cold days in winter

Cheers

Sorry for the bad quality, its a quick shoot with the mobile phone.

Cheers Florian

Happy day that first test drive! That gun shot is impressive - no looking down the barrel!
Wow.

Hi Florian,

Did you use the Armortek blankfire instead of the recoil system in the stug,
or did you use a system made by yourself?
Nice video

Best regards Yves

Thanks for the compliments
@Yves I have an own construction for about 11 shoots serie. Unfortunatly that does'nt allows thr recoil construction. - Maybe its possible with lots of work, but you can not connect the shoot time with the recoil. You would have to trigger the recoil by yourself

Cheers Florian

Thanks Florian,


I will send you a pm
Best regards Yves

Holy smokes, love it!

Now I finished the Comanders Hatch and start final painting.

Yes I ecco that , just love it

Did some work at the gun mechanics. You need a strong servo but it works well.

The StuG is nearly finished now.
In time I work at the finishing paint and weathering.
Trying a real instant rust kit. The pictures are not that good as it shows real. I thing the rust is nearly perfect.
