Hi All, I have now started my Christmas present the amazing Trumpeter 1/16 scale T34, every bit as good as the King Tiger, I think Trumpeter have got this scale spot on and I just wish they would issue a few more. The attached photographs show the engine, gearbox and fan assembly. I couldn't find any photographs of the T34 interior apart from one engine shot so I have relied on info from other modellers builds and used imagination for the colour scheme and plumbing. A tip for you all, available from fishing tackle shops, I have found silicon rubber tubing available from 0.5mm dia to 2mm dia in various colours, which is perfect for rubber hoses, wiring etc, The anglers apparently use it for tying flys or attaching floats to line, and its very cheap. Happy new year everyone
I have now started the main chasis and have attached shots of the engine bay, drivers bay and battery cases. Its a shame that most of this won't be seen once the model is completed but its the building and painting that I enjoy most.
