Hull mg Tiger Panther etc

Post by ronnie42 »

The TRUMPETER 1/16 kit is showing a few faults on my builds. If your mg has the barrel with all the holes its not correct. An easy fix and cheap.

Version 2 the parts, might do away with 3rd row copper foil tubes. Soldering tip to make the copper cone at the tip of the mg. Solder next.
