how did you get the suspension to work? great tank by the way

[ppplll000999]

@vhd72 This Monogram kit came already with working suspension ( if memory did not fail me ) . While Tamiya kits never give you suspension, other companies often include working suspensions.

[vhd72]

@ppplll000999 so is it a workable suspension or a working suspension? sorry for the stupid questions..

[ppplll000999]

@vhd72  A working suspension of rocker type.

You are the best!

I think Tamiya have to ask you "THANKS"....

Great job!!!!!!

how hard are 1 35 models to build?

[ppplll000999]

@ZACKBAGNALLVIDEO Not hard if you pick a bigger size model & go for only simple basic function. See my vid 'Panzer lV, the simplest RC conversion ( RE-POST) '.

[bakuganfanman101]

You have alot of expensive and nice tanks! Also, alot of views!

[SLGarner06]

Thanks for your reply. I have watched all of your tank videos as they are mesmerizing. I will be looking for your post of the Panzer IV.

[SLGarner06]

Thanks for your reply. I will be looking for your Panzer IV video. I have watched all of your videos that are posted as they are mesmerizing!

[SLGarner06]

I think your models are fantastic. I can not find your Panzer IV video for your tutorial on "how to", where can I find it?

[ppplll000999]

@SLGarner06 I have deleted some older videos. Probably that's one of them. I will repost it again in near future.

Have you worn out those crappy plastic tracks yet? heheh

[ppplll000999]

Not yet :), you'll be surprised how sturdy these tracks are, especially the vinyl ones.

[IRELANDSELITE]

[peepeevagi]

Hah, secret weapons over normandy.

awesome

This brings back memories!

First tank model I ever buit was a 1/32 scale wirbelwind made by Monegram Corp. back in the early 70's. It was a static product but had some features molded into the plastic that suggest that the original intent was for this product to be motorized.

[ppplll000999]

Good memories, I hope :)

Yeah, can't imagine time of life can slip through my fingers before I can understand the slightest meaning of it. Always ponder over the 'only if I knew' :)

[rredhawk]

good memories for the most part. Maybe better if I still had that tank :). Most of my old models either broken or gave them away. Fun to see so many others' models on the web these days.

[nrmejia]

funny the freaking soviets invented the shilka and is the same exact design as this thing.

[ppplll000999]

In my opinion, it is hard to compare the design of the two due to different era and different technology at the time. Shilka was developed after WWll and a lot of its proven effectiveness is due to its radar guidance while the WWll Wirbelwind did not have such luxury :) However you are right that they look so similar, with 4 barrels.

i wanna make one but i can't find a tutorial anywhere :( please help! I wanna make a jagdpanther so i will have no need for the rotating turret

[ppplll000999]

My '1/35 Panzer lV simplest RC conversion' video is a tutorial :). If you still find it challenging, I suggest a ' motorized' assembly kit to try hand on first.

[RooneyAnimations]

I mean how to set up the wires and stuff

[ppplll000999]

There is hardly anything to explain. There are 6 wires from a 2 channel RC board. 2 wires for the battery. 2 wires for each motor. Cut and re-connect.

[RooneyAnimations]

How do i connect? twist them together? plus will any RC board work? from any RC toy?

[ppplll000999]

Soldering is the preferred way although twisting & cover with tape also work in most cases. All RC boards work but some will work better naturally. You will know which ones work better only after you have some failures. This is what we call experience and experience can only be gained through failures :)

[kwokwing]

Good job

[Ridgetucky39]

Do you remember the 1/32 scale plastic model kit?I built one when I was a kid and I think it was an Airfix kit.Let me know if I am correct,and you did a great job.

[ppplll000999]

Sorry to tell you that you are incorrect. I think this is the same one you built, which is made by Monogram. :)

[gibsonsignature]

i really want that lol it looks so cool

[ppplll000999]

Sorry, you have to make your own. :)
