Flyingbogey,

Just out of curiosity, what kind of sports car is your Flyingbogey?

Cheers,
Eric.

The original one was so the name is the genus for them, if that makes sense…

Pz 4 is my personal favorite German WWII tank. (F2 specifically) However, its suspension sucks in 1/16th scale for outdoors.
Run backwards in grass and see what happens to the leaf spring.

You're making me wonder if that's a good idea... I would rather not have to replace the suspension just yet :haha:

Hello FB,

I had to Google that one to refresh my memory. Now I know what you're driving! I think the moniker fits the car perfectly!

Cheers,
Eric.

It got the name from the first of the marque which was green as you probably saw.

Almost finished the 4, couple of minor niggles to iron out. I let the battery go flat, lol, so having to wait… not my strongest suit. Pictures to come shortly!
