:) the tracks and 6 cylinder engine are motorised,(same as the Tiger 1) I
didnt have enough room to motorise the turret turner, as I was able to with
the Challenger tank. I have made the model so that the motor can be removed in
a matter of seconds so that it can be used as a push along model still
rotating the engine, if desired.This also gives more ammo storage space inside
the hull. The t34 76 did have a small turret , the /85 had a much larger
turret as I have tried to replicate.(can get 3 figures in the turret at a
squeeze). I will try and take some pics of the Tiger and T34 together if I get
time. :)
