Hi RC model tankers;


These pics are the final piping style.
1/2; Final piping style
3;Smoke generator unit and blower fun which powerfully outputs the thick smoke like this
  and the volume is proportionally controlled in accordance with tank speed.
4;1/6 US Army M4 Sherman tank equipped with the same type of smoke generating system is running
outdoors.   This smoke looks a little thick as compared with the real tank,but this is under actually no wind
and looks much natural and thinner under just a breeze.

Hi RC tank boaters;


I lengthened the barrel longer as original barrel was short,ugly and therefore not scale-like...
But this modification is also not so scale -like in its diameter...
But appearance I think seems much improved by this modification.

Good afternoon to the hive.
A mate and I decided to modify the 21st century M5 a few years ago.
Mine changed to an early M3 Honey, whilst his became an M3a3.

It's a stunningly awesome and realistic tank,especially real weathering and simulated rivets are superb.!!
Have you also modified the inside mechanism of the tank?

[rob]

Thankyou
The rivets and screws are real.
My M3 ran on standard running gear ( was bought to use as a prototype by a Chinese manufacturer)
The M3A3 is running different motors, smoke, tracks and sound and is still in use by the builder.

Hello,
Great information and really good reading, thanks.

Are Sankyo model T74 RC tanks still made in Japan?
1/10th scale with nitro engine.

I have one from quite a few years ago.

Hi Getemuphigh;

I am awfully sorry to be late in replying.
Thank you for your posting of nice pic of Type 74 tank 1/10.
I set up another thread of this subject as seen below and wrote in about the Sankyo company briefly.


The pics below are my nitro-engine Type 74 tank,which was very powerful and could run 30 minutes continuously
in one fuel tank in the mid-summer daytime like this season due to water-cooled with a radiator,which I thought
was essential to go under the hot season.
