« on: April 21, 2020, 03:33:48 PM »

Hi all,

Hoping to get some advisement on an problem im having difficulty solving. Searched the forum but havent found any info to solve. I have a Tamiya panzer IV with the original Tamiya mechanical recoil unit that the motor cycles continuously the minute i turn on the power. Ive tried multiple settings in the OP config to no avail. I also tried another mech. recoil unit from my tamiya pershing; same thing. Cannon sound and hi intensity flash trigger properly.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my project. Still needing some weathering, color modulation and pin washes but its pretty close to finished. Pretty happy with how the internals got organized.

I feel fortunate that i was able to snag 2 Open panzer TCBs before HK discontinued them. Really wish a new supplier is found.
