muddydigger Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) G'day every one, Well Lee I'm here. My name Is Damian, I live in Brisbane Australia. I am currently in the middle of a 60% scale model build of Scimitar CVRT. The Tank is Based on a Scimitar but may not be 100% accurate, because of size issues and drivability. Its powered by a Fiat 126 engine. I would appreciate any pictures and help you guys who own them can offer. Ill post progress of the Scimitar as I go If it interest you. I am also after exploded views of the transmission if any one has them? Cheers Digger Edited September 28, 2008 by Marmite!! photo links repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 David, I think you might struggle to replicate the transmission in scale, it's bad enough repairing them when they are full size! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi Digger, glad you could join us, great project & look forward to seeing it's progress... just hope my son doesn't see this thread... Jack will probably be along shortly asking you to build him a Sherman... :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddydigger Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 David, I think you might struggle to replicate the transmission in scale, it's bad enough repairing them when they are full size! Chris Gday Chris, I wasnt planning on replicating the transmssion for the tank, We allready have a transmission designed specificaly for scaled tanks. I was more interested in seeing the workings, more a curiosity thing. Lee, there is already a scaled Shermen on our Site, http://www.scaledtanks.com/news.php http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/muddydigger/Upper_hull_moulded_shell.jpg[/img]http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/muddydigger/default.jpg[/img] This site is dedicated to building Scaled Tanks, so if any one would like to own a tank but dosent have the room, nor the cash to buy a real on have a look, join up and start building. Ps we are not restricted to whats available to buy either, We haev M1s, Shermans, M60s even a WW1 Renult tank. cheers Digger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 No idea why I called you David before! Anyway, here's something that might help! I can explain basically how it works, but it is not simple.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Welcome aboard for a great time . I had watched the series of videos posted on you-tube about the sherman tank project Great Bit of Engineering and looks like a lot of fun ....... Should you finish up your very interesting scale CVRT make sure you stay out of the way of the likes of the Antars , Scammels and such that prowl the Parking lot of the club house as they tend not to see things as they manover about looking for parking places ...... :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see more, I can see some of the workings there, but the picture isnt that good to see it. If you can them please do so. If its easier to email then do so damian.sonia@bigpond.com Cheers Digger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I do have more, but it might take some time to dig out one which is clearer. There are a lot of components in the TN15.. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Damian, now that looks fun. Are you goung to publish blueprints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddydigger Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Damian, now that looks fun. Are you goung to publish blueprints? There are some plans available on scaledtanks.com site yes, but mostly its fairly simple stuff, Get 1/35 scale model kit and measure and multiply by a factor of 20. The Gearbox and suspension will be shown in plan format on the site, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
