Oh No 8O , Not Freddy again.. :O
Just when we are beginning to think that pimping up a Taigen, is something to be proud of, you come up with another styrene Meisterwerk! :'( It's not fair :lolno:
You're top of the class again, Freddy :clap:
Following along..begrudgingly... (but with keen interest :shh: ).

wow wow wow; i didn´t meant to cause these problems :haha:

Ok, then I think I´ll have to put more stuff in :crazy:

Special build track gears, using motor size 28mm.

Image

...using 38t tracks from DKLM; they´re very similar to the original AMX-13 tracks without rubber pads. A lot of rework is necessary before these are usable :sick:

Image

…but after all it works.

Small steps forward at the AMX-13...the upper hull.
A rack is needed as a basis…

…with some accessories…

…and the upper hull is roughly finished 8)
