Likely both were used and are correct. They were used to line up the guns on a firing line when they went into a position.

Any visible object could have been used.Likely after the position was set up, all but a few would have then been collected in.

More like clever wording to sugest you are getting something you are not. Big difference between a faulty and a failed item. I work for an electronics manufacturing firm. Half a day each week, I examine the returns. If the item is low value, then it is simply replaced or refunded. Not worth using my...

No ice but the TTB as a coke dispenser was a good wind-up. The NBC pack was wonderful at chilling the beers though.

Fantastic detailing, very impressive. Suggestions for further improvement. GUE Marriage Panel on left hand side of firewall. ME Marriage Panel on the right hand side. Plus a coke can to drop out of the TTB ( Tank Telephone Box ) when it was opened. Regular wind-up on the attached Infantry that it wa...

I recall that the generator was bolted on the back of the engine, and the starter motor for it was mounted low down at the side.

Hi Stephen,
Please let me know the cost for the full set for one Chieftain including postage to Germany and how you would like to be paid.

Still waiting for the quote so I can place the order.

I do not recall ever seeing a bottle jack kept and used on a tank but most of my experience was supporting Challenger 1 & 2. On them if a roadwheel had to be replaced, a strut plate was used. Curved surface at the top which went under the stub axle and two teeth at the bottom that went into the trac...

I have been trying to remote assist my father but so far no success. The problem is not wheel wobble on the front wheels but rather they lock solid on EPO216 if the M5x16 CSK is tightened fully. He has confirmed EPO215 rotates freely if the wheels are not fitted. Backing off the M5x16 allows the whe...

One exercise in Germany, got called out to a tank early in the morning. Arrived there expecting a coffee but a TDB fault so BV not working.Petrol cooker also had a fault so they gave me a can of Tennants. Another can whilst I was fixing the TDB and a third after fixing it whilst we waited for the BV...

And if too tight the suspension units will not operate properly. If the track starts spragging, lifting off the sprocket when doing turns and jumping teeth then it should be tightened before the track goes inwards scuffing the hull or outwards throwing the track. On the Chiefy ARV & ARRV, you always...

Surely the turret rotation speed will depend on the speed of the motor or the hand of the gunner ( I recall reading it was 720 turns of the handwheel to turn the turret 360 on the tiger.) Everything else will just affect how much the motor or gunner has to work.

Had an email from Reinhold today. Regretfully due to the Corona virus, he is having to cancel the event this year but is making advance planning for an extended weekend meeing next year.

I am not knowledgable about the new red box electronics but do recall reading a post on this forum mentioning that the receiver should only receive power from either module A or module B and that some were sent out with unmodified cables causing the receiver to get power from both and causing proble...

Hi Andy, we are making progess. Switch over the Elevator and Aileron channels on the transmitter or swap the physical connections on the receiver.

Hi Andy, you have proved that all channels and motors are working. What is not working at the moment is the channel mixing. I would suggest setting it up as a new model according to the guide http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5795&p=49290&sid=95ec476d59058a9d641c2865c159c7cc#p49...
