Thanks

these are the bearings i bought to support the end of the drive shafts,need to bore out the hole to fit them

Hi billy,

The exhausts are usually only glued in position and can be removed intact if careful but if they do break new items can be found and even in metal.

The led light on the front of the turret/mantlet should be the bb gun warning light.

The headlight at the front can be cut down and either a new smaller led can be installed or file the one down that's already there. If you search on the web you should find some lenses that fit inside the recess and look the part as the picture I've added below shows.

I'm not quite sure of the mfu version you have just from that picture so post a pic of the handset as well which may give a clue but it does look like one of the newer heng long units.

Just an observation as well, the decals that are fitted to the front fenders would normally be placed on the turret, hope some of this information helps

Cheers,Lee.

Good Morning, Billy,
All of Lee's advice is spot on! To this, I can only add that you look in the Heng Long Builds sub section of the Forum here and read through some of the amazing Builds that you will find there for the KV-1. You are sure to find some cool and useful tips on how to redo your Heavy Armor there.
regards,
Painless

thanks for the info
i need to drill out the exhaust for the smoke,ill probably try and drill them in situ
never noticed the led when the bb was going to fire,but then i tend not to look down the barrel when it does
yes the headlight led just sticks out too far for me,i am noy going mad with this build as its just to look good and use on my local crawling track
i bought the tank second hand so the decals had been put on by the previous owner,i have bought new ones but they dont look too bad(to me) on the fenders,i may try and paint over them after i have painted the tank green with some white,reason being russian tanks seem to be whitewashed
always put decals over the top if i bollock it up

thanks again

for the Radio deck?
it's an HL version, which is a bit dated? but in 2.4 Ghz which is already better than the old 27 Mhz. There are indeed many things that do not conform to reality? But as " Painless Wolf " says I invite you to consult the HL post on this forum, and you will find there many answers, councils and ideas for your leveling, according to your wish!!!
