This pic shows the US Dark Green against the HL Green. Vallejo Russian Green is lighter, but I am going to try and get close to the colour in the third pic down, the dry dusty look.

Looking at two of the sprues from my T90, the green is definitely painted. This is the painted side

As you will see, the basic plastic is actually two different colours. Scraping away at the sprue that was for some of the additional body parts gives a third green coloured plastic.

Just took the upper hull off, and you are correct, the green is sprayed on the outside. Still have no idea how to match it, though if I do a complete respray the matching issue will be an issue no longer. :angel:

I have been around the tank about ten times, examined the manual, and cannot see where this part goes back on, can anyone assist?

Rob, can't spot that part anywhere on my T90? You sure it came off yours?

Nice one magman, this is obviously inside the tank, which explains why I couldn't spot it, as I haven't touched the inside yet.

Oh Lordy, smacks self on forehead. I removed that cover a while back as I have a Tk22 and normal rx in there. I must have left it bouncing around inside the hull. It's the same colour as the external parts so I assumed that it had fallen off.

Thanks chaps, mystery solved.

I have sent a message to Clark to ask him if he has a demo of the TK24 T90, and whether there is a difference between the sounds and how they are generated on the TK60. The Bulldog sounds that I have in there aren't suited to the tank really, and pale into insignificance when I hear the TK60. The TK60 is about £130, the TK24 is around £100, so not a huge difference in price.

Will post up a video soon, the T90 will sit on a shelf until after I have moved house which may well be a couple of months, but everything except the paint is now done.

A quick and dirty video on my phone, just to show that it all works and how well it runs. With decent sounds and a paintjob I reckon that this will be a really good tank. :thumbup:

Here you go

Just got a reply from Clark:
Both Tk24 and TK60 are sound the same, both board use identical sound file and sound driver, only difference is H/W, TK60 provide more lights, servo port and sound programabliity.
