rc conversion of Panzer I Ausf.F
3 kinds of the box covers and 2 kinds of the model kit companies, but the molds are the same.
these models are pretty small to convert rc tanks.
i got a set of friulmodel and two of modelkasten
it took a lot of time to assemble them. be aware!
i used 0.4mm piano wires for them
my new rc conversion project
one of german tanks in world war II, Minenräumer. they have unique track links as you can see. i like them. however the quality of this model kit is not that good. i need to trim and modify many parts. alot of work errr

i started a new project. it should be a long journey. cause 1/35 scale ft-17's are way too small. sigh~
i have been searching small rc stuffs for my ft-17.
the renault ft-17 is meaningful in tank history. the first tank with an armament in a fully rotaying turret!

there're many variations of ft-17's though, i feel like to build that one in french version. plus ww1... maybe lol
i have researched many documents, drawings, vids, pics, etc.
i don't like tanks actually. but small and cute ones are acceptable lol
i like this pic
and i'd like to paint my ft17 like this below.
this camouflage should be becoming to my ft17
let me show you my work so far
first, friulmodel track links for ft17.
i had to drill through them one by one. i can tell you it was absolutely a lot of work
and roadwheels and suspension
ft17 tanks have leaf springs for suspension, though i couldn't help but choose coil ones T^T. plz don't ask why
i bought the rpm model kit and the metal track on ebay, even though the exchange rate is bloody high.
out of stock at all shops in s. korea!!! errrrrr
guess how much i paid for them. if you came to know the grand total, probably you would say "are you nuts?" lol
my concern is that i need to buy rc stuff more (-.- +)
