Stug III Elevation kit

Post by Björn Johansson »

This one goes to Armortek Technician

How did you get they gun elevation motor that we get in the option pack , to work with the heavy Stug III Gun :? :?
Possible it could handle the Panzer III 37/50 mm gun , but it can surely not handle the Stug III gun.

And yes I´v seen that nobody get it to work with out extensive rebuild whit 1kg counter weight , some have done a complete new gearbox etc.

But it was purchased as a option part for the Stug III kit.

If I would have sold such a product to my workshop or garage owner´s when I work at the aftermarket for car parts :x
Jesus they would have whipped my ass brutaly I can asure you.

So I´m real curious how you solved it in the Stug III prototype ??

The factory is closed until the 3rd August, so I wouldn't expect a reply till then.
