This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Good morning, Giganaut!,
What cement are you using to build that? ( Also, kinda swinging back around to the Torro for the new KV-2 since someone put them on sale ;o) (IMEX)

Giganaut,
It's definitely coming to life. How is internal usable space looking vs enough bracing to keep that long hull rigid? If it's the same material that you printed the KV-2 turret out of, that stuff is stout.

Painless

P.S. A Torro KV-2 is on it's way from IMEX for the 1939 version build. ;o)
