Hi all Happy New Year

Tarr smoker
IR Battle system
Clark Recoil

Yeah, I shall follow along, and as I have one of these plus a leopard or two, I'll be very interested to see how you deal with the stabilization

Re: Daz's Challenger 2 Build
Little more update not going for uparmoured going to stay with clean look as I like that look going to base on more modern era KRH tank just got to figure out white decals as their markings have a round border. For now just learning new skills as I go and copying what other people have done as this is only my second tank. So build so far:
Hull and turret now magnetised connection no more screws
Battery box removed and hull reinforced
Decide to open all three sights one over gun mantle has IR emitter so no red covering
and fitted Clark recoil for HL Challenger 2
Still lots to as I bought Tankograd reference book and every time I look at it I get more ideas got to stop doing that or will never finish.

Re: Daz's Challenger 2 Build
No good check reference book and the deflector plate on the front of the tank is to far back on the HL its further forward on the Chally 2 so deglue sand and polish fill in holes make pins and stick back on slightly back from front lip but close as possible with out interfering with taking upper hull off
