discussion 1/16-1/18 BRASS PAK 40

[eddiesolo]

I have been working on this for weeks-just a bit at a time-damn near killed me lol.

It is made from brass scrap, copper nails and solder.

Ignore the wheels as these are proving to be a pain to source so, I am looking into 1/16 P-III metal idlers and adapting, the axles will be retapped to accept the wheels.

Once acid etched primed and painted it will go with my RC 1/16 tanks and vehicles.

Si,
Presumably you have gone for robustness over accuracy if it is going to be dragged around behind R/C vehicles?

Thanks John, glad you like it mate.

Hi Si. indeed it is going to be dragged around. Although it was never built with 100% accuracy in mind, in fact the frame is slightly cockeyed, something I didn't notice until I fixed into place.

A guy at the club has a 1/18 Merit 88mm and he tows that, bits of plastic failing all over, it comes back with more metal pinned work-hence mine is all out of brass-keep it simple.

Thanks for the plan, appreciate that mate.
