Wow, Jarndice. I just finished modifying my ariel holder but after reading this I realize I need to up my game and make a better one from scratch. Thanks once again.

Dam jarndice........ why did I read this you just know the voice's are going to tell me to add that to my ever growing list !jarndice wrote:I have a confession to make
For years I have been nagging new members of the Forum about the need to remove the excess Spare Aerial Holder from their Heng Long/Taigen Tiger 1s,
Well the truth is that leaving the correct aerial holder in place is a mistake if you value accuracy,
The real Tiger 1s spare aerial holder was elevated above the engine decking not resting on it.
I make the two "Cup" holders from 2mm Plasti-card off cuts and pin vice the holes for them in the edge of the tank body,
I cut a length of 2mm brass tube to size and mount that in the holders and with the little cap from the end of a ball point pen and a lick of paint it looks much better than the awful mess that it replaces.
As you get to know jarndice better, you will learn that he never posts photos.Wildboar44 wrote:Dam jarndice........ why did I read this you just know the voice's are going to tell me to add that to my ever growing list !jarndice wrote:I have a confession to make
