Hi,
I'd like some advice on how to build, install and control moving gun turrets on a working model. Any drawings or pictures would be very valuable.
Thanks:)

Re: Rotating Gun Turrets
I was thinking of doing for two models, one is the 1/200 Arizona, and another will be a model of the RN Pola which I'm building to 1/72.

I've used Sail Winch servos on my RC warships. You can also use geared head and stepper motors, with some pretty simple wiring of a servo and 2 switches. (Same setup I've used for a simple on/off throttle)

When you think about it, that is a really simple idea:)
