Now I moved to the new Forum with new results. It is from the scratch and so I’m going two steps forward and one backwards. I have reconstructed the wheels for better driving.Roir this I buyed 20 wheels of T54/T55 early from “MiniArt”
I use two different ball bearings - one is set on a splint of 1mm and the other set on a brass-pipe of 2mm. the 1mm axis is put in the brass-pipe. The wheels get two holes outside of 3mm for the ball bearing on the 1mm-axis and inside a hole of 5mm for the ball-bearing on the brass-pipe.
the drive wheel will cutted and stick both-sided an a muff with a grub screw to fix on the drive axe.
Next I continued to create the hull of the radar-station as empty frame. Sorry, there are no images 0f the parts I cutted out from several plastic-sheets. I had a flo and so I forgott to make photos. But I have Images of the raw-hull -for comparisation also the hull from “Panzershop” ( the yellowish hull on the pictures)I will not use:
Now, we look where the rc-electronic is plased. Behind the radiator-grill is the speaker for the engine-noises,
in the middle of the lower-hull is the rc-receiver and in the tail of the radar-station-hull are the akkus:.
On the last image we can see the basic-vehicel similiar like the object 426u:

Wow! This is looking very interesting.
@BootsDMS: Thanks!

Wow, that’s some talented mechanization there! Very impressive job.
A little Work at the front of the vehicel:
… oh, I forgott the result-photo:
What next? I break the work ot the hull and create a (Prototype) of a Parabol-Antenna-Gear. For this I disasemble a Tank-Modell-Turet:
… and check the funktionality;
Now place the antenna-gear in the hull:
Now, this gets new problems - first, there is no place for the akku’s in zhe main-hull, i moved they in the lowerhull. Second the vehicel has now oa weight over 700g - for this weight the used suspension is too weak and I nead a new one construction …
Hello Fellows,
In between, for a change - it takes a while to provide 14 wheels with new suspension and is boring and corrosive from the third wheel onwards - I dealt with the radar antenna and realized: the reflector at “PanzerShop” is not prototypical and therefore unusable and a conversion has to be made the templates of the paper model of “MODEL-KOM” serve as a starting point. Bending, gluing or soldering the vertical struts made of wire, plastic etc. fails because of the material, tools and my ability and demands.
As an alternative, I thought of someone who owns a 3D printer - maybe you can’t just print the things or at least blanks. . .
. . . the design work has already been done and is available as a script - now only has to be rendered and printed - so send it away and wait - and this is what the construction looks like (screenshotl):
Now from virtuality to reality:
I start the assembling of the parabol-antenna.
The assebled 3D-printer-parts:
Than the same with “backbone”:
… with one ear:
