I think legal use of a blank firer may be different from country to country. In Germany e.g. it is not allowed to adapt a blank firer to a barrel, because this would be an illegal alteration of this 'weapon'. But there exists an electric firing machine gun with 6 mm blank cartridges (originally desi...

Hi John,

I don't know which kind of blank firer was used in this Tiger, but you can see that there is la little risk when using.......

Once we organized a 'combined arms meeting' with rolling tanks and flying warbirds at our model airfield. So we had a lot of fun looking at a Spit attacking a King TIger!

If you are using steel track links, you don't have any problem with weathering. Simply put them into the garden for a month or so, and the weathering is complete.......

Hello Mark, very nice work, indeed. But are you sure that the labelling is correct? In German 20 tons would be named as '20 Tonnen'. All pics I found about this jack, in German named '20 Tonnen - Stockwinde', look like this: http://www.fahrzeuge-der-wehrmacht.de/Bilder/Stahlwinde_20t_Ch_01-1.jpg htt...

Well, not everybody will be amused to see his model being crushed by such a monster...........

Hi Florian, I suppose that is an interference problem. Probably Benedini uses a class D amplifier which produces some electrical interferences to the servo. Try a ferrite ring together with the servo cable. The DC-DC-converter is out of suspicion if an seperate akku for the servo shows the same resu...

I tried to mark the possible point of damage just before final breaking down: https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22sdjos.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22lwkmk.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-226cjay.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22a1k28.jpg

Hi Christoffer, I wish you a long life of your track links, because I don't like alcoholic drinks! :mrgreen: ************ Hi guys, please keep in mind that in Hausen about 10 to 20 AT models are rolling for hours. In summary this is a lot of operations in a short time. I tried to find out under whic...

These models have very powerful motors, so are quite capable of breaking track links if the running gear is clogged up with earth, stones or sand. Much better to drive to the conditions than to expect the tank to chew through everything it encounters. Adrian. I would think that sand (also if wet) i...

Well, in the 10 years that Hausen Tank Meeting exists, there was no year without a break of an Armortek track link, though there are mown meadows only, but some ascents. Armortek track links are built very prototypical and true to scale, but are made of aluminium instead of steel. Along with the str...

Hi Marco, first of all: wonderful; a tank that may roll in heavy grounds, like tanks have to do that! :mrgreen: I tried to solve the problem of breaking tracks under load at my Jagdpanther with Vincent's steel tracks, because I have best experiences with Olaf's steel tracks on Königstiger and Jagdti...

Reinhold confirmed that he uses the SGS stabilizer, originally made for 1/16 scale and modified by SGS for his Leopard turret with 85 kgs!! Turret rotation is made by a brushed electric gearmotor, barrel elevation by a strong servo. This servo needs its own power suppy (not via receiver) up to 8.4 v...

Micro SD cards have a certain fault rate. The best memory goes into the solid state disks, the next one to the display cards, and the last one to the sticks and the SD cards. I'm using about 20 micro SD cards, and one of them was faulty till now. They also are very sensitive against bending, and som...

Hi Adrian, unfortunately I didn' hear till now of this sound board (I prefer the versatile Beier USM-RC2). But I took a look at the home page and found a interesting module (SD card on board!) and a remarkable hint: 'When requesting sound clip samples, please send us a polite and courteous email wit...
