Thanks for the pic that is awesome!!! I know it does it just slid down lol. I see that there are two eyelets on the spinning rangefinder thingy just above it. Do you know what that is for?

They screw in for removal of the CITV since it's heavy. They are normally not installed except for maintenance or repair.

Did a little bit of work today. Not feeling so hot. Ate something bad I think.. anyway I wanted to try and replicate the clicking sound these tanks make when moving. I also did a little more paint work. It’s still not put back together as the hull and turret are just on top of the chassis but here’s a quick demo

It looks really nice. I recognize Mato's metal tracks. what did you use to get the rust color? It looks like rust on the tracks of my KUB launcher after a few days on the training ground

Nope those are stock plastic henglong tracks my friend! I used a terra-cotta spray paint and then just sanded off the paint where the track pads are. I did order the mato drive sprockets though

I gave a listen to the sound video. I don't hear any clicking sound, so I fear I am missing something (maybe hearing aids

). I sure do catch that unique turbo engine sound. Wow!

Lol it’s the new henglong 7.0 as for the clicking sound think of a baseball card in your bike spokes lol I might now get the double rubber pad metal tracks over on eBay.

Very impressive and convincing track painting

This tank of yours deserves a Beier control board!
