| Got this from Carson for those who are thinking of upgrading to a Super Pershing...... My calculation says 28cm for 1/16 scale, but couldn't get my existing servo recoil to work and end up with closer to 30cm length....... Oh well. Longer got to be better right ? Upgraded to the metal boggies while I was at it.   " />   " /> |

| I know where you can buy a really nice trailer to put that on next time you want to drive down for a battle  That's impressive. Does the elevation struggle?

| Surprisingly neither rotation or elevation struggle, but my poor HS-81 recoil servo needed some help. I need to make sure there is an inner tube for rigidity and smooth out the recoil tube. The muzzle brake is plastic from the original HL so no additional weight. |

| No kidding Stince........ It does look that way. I think it is a little too long, so I might lob some off the tip...... Too much trouble to do it on the back end of the barrel. |

| All kidding aside, if anyone has a scale blue-print of the M26E4, can they do a quick measure and let me know what the 1/16 equivalent is ? From the Bradford 1/72 scale drawing I am getting 27cm from mantlet end of the barrel to the muzzle brake (not including the muzzle brake).
When I try to extrapolate from the Squadron Signal's M26 Pershing Walk Around I got 20.2cm which is more like the original barrel then the T15E1........

| HI Mike,
Your Pershing looks awesome!
This barrel is measured from a 1/35 kit from hobbyboss.
The total length is designed for Tamiya Pershing, For HL Pershing, I think have to pull the barrel a bit more into the turret.
Cheers,
Carson L |
