Yay, it turned up.
Sorry to hear about the damage, such a pain.
I've got to ask, is that barrel ok? Am I right in thinking it looks like it's stuck in the recoiled position, just like the early Heng Long Tiger 1's
It is what it is. They are chucked around from China, to Holland, to the UK, and I need to damage the Zimmerit anyway. Saves me two minutes work. As for the barrel. I hadn’t noticed, as I haven’t powered it up yet. Waiting on the battery to charge for a full test.

I am surprised by the damage, for the Torro tanks I have from Torro or Licmas all survived the overseas trip unscathed. Please don‘t sweat the little details too much. Enjoy! By the way, I have encountered some folks who think the crates to be an expensive superfluity. Maybe so, but they are actually handy for transport; if they get bumped up a bit, it‘s just realism, and making them oneself is more costly (my woodworking pal actually estimated the cost per crate for us to try. Yikes!).

If I was not going to rip it apart, or it was my first model I would be bothered. However as I am a realist and I intend to paint it, give it damage and generally bog about with it, I won’t loose sleep over some minor damage.
