Hello guys
someone have info and drawing about venezuelan turret?
This would be the easiest option for a Kuka turret. Upgrade kit - KUKA rheinmetal KBA 25mm - 1/35 scale - Resin 3D printed | eBay
no… my one is pyramidal…
Dear all
I have some “old friends” in my stock pile of kit to assembly.
they look me and they ask me: “when do you assembly me?”
the TPz1 is one of them.
now is time to project the assembly of it
Germans have a lot of interesting versions (as radio…) but… Venezuelan version is more exciting!
for a long time I haven’t a good view of the turret and of the top lay-out, so was not possible procede.
now I have found in Internet a top view and I can procede to build it.

Rubber wheels had melt some component…now there are in the bag
Hi! I would strongly recommend not to use these. They are absolutely ugly and have wrong size/shape. There are nice aftermarket wheels for the Fuchs, I used these from MR Modellbau some decades ago. However, their quality is so/so. MR CAN do fine castings, but they use the moulds way to long. At least it was the case when I bought mine. As said, decades ago.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I’ll follow your idea, when ready I buy new wheels
There is this option of the TPz TVM KRK from Mad Modellbau,
Comes as a conversion, not just the turret.

I am not sure what type of tyre they use, but DEF has two sets:

One review from this site:
They are more than what you probably bought the kit for, but are available. e.g a couple from retailers in the EU (noting you are in Italia):
Real model also did a set, but I think they might be out of production.
New wheels is coming

COUNTERMAND COMRADES!
I had planned to build it with tinted windows but the result was sickening–it looked like Bandai’s Match Patrol!
I tried to build a pseudo interior but even singing “message in the bottle” it was not possible to perform anything decent…so I went back to the old-fashioned way: shields up and that’s it.
frontal shield added
