It's alive!
My intrepid printer buddy has manufactured the 3DP parts I need to convert a Heng Long Panzer IV to a Wirbelwind. Now it's up to me to see how much customizing I can accomplish. Rotation and elevation is straightforward. I'm planning (hoping) to insert LED bulbs in the barrels. I'd use the machine gun circuit to activate them. I may even use spare HL IR bulbs that I removed for stronger ones from other tanks. That way I could fire the mg circuit for 5 seconds which will cause the main IR to fire, but at a shorter range. Or nothing may work, and it'll be just a showpiece! We'll see.
