1/16 rc FO Cheetah PRTL -Holland version

[karel47]

i've got since two months a long awaited new toy
since am into rc tanks 25 years ago the gepard was one of my favourites ... but in those days out of money but never searching after one since i was into the ardennes theme
lately bought 3 tamiya FO Leopards 2a6 my interrest in modern armor was growing again
one day rene was asking if i was wanting his cheetah , the price was right so i took it
its a nice conversion a gepard from 1970's brandnew ; look at the chassis pics into a holland army Cheetah ... when i saw the first pics i was lost

it was very basic empty hull with FO tamiya motorboxen into it , rene mount also the afv metal supportwheels
am now busy to detail it up , with every possible detail i see on pics , its not done yet ... a lot to go ... enjoy the pics

as you see its very nice but lacks so many little details and need a clearer 3 tone nato camoscheme



















in the outskirts in my garden looking for daesh bastards

[karel47]

a few minor hooks , footsteps cutted out etc are done yet

[karel47]

as you see the wires in the turret are a mess , i gonna take care for that and make it moving like it should
am thinking on a tk22 or sgs gepard module

[karel47]

the difference between the gepard and the cheetah

[karel47]

this weekend i gonna cut out these on the right back
does anyone known what the use of this hatch

[karel47]

i found these pics on BTN another build out of holland





this is what i wonna accomplish , why are these on the cheetah and not on the gepard , what is the use of the refill opening etc ...

also a cool thought of henry i am working on

he used two leds for the backlights , cutted them in half and assembled them together
