Hello.

Post by Egg on Leggs »

Hi All, my name is Jim.

Just started on a Heng Long Sherman RTR*

* Appears to mean Ready To Take Apart and Put Back Together Properly. ;-)

Hi there, Egg on Leggs. I have to admit, that is an interesting moniker, and fun! Yes, you may find yourself re-doing some of the HengLong Sherman, depending on the version and other factors. Has there been a specific problem so far, or is it just that you want to make the M4 more accurate or more durable? Please do ask questions as you want and let us know about your skills (or, like me, lack thereof).

EoL Hi,Welcome to the Forum :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
A very accurate description of any new Tank but perhaps it is just as well because only learning how to open the thing when a fault develops is too late.
Where in the world are you?
Please do enjoy this place and ask lots of questions.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

My screen name is an accurate description of me, I'm fat and can't spell.

The Sherman threw a bogie after 5 minutes of running, Bodged at the factory as the Bogie spigot was missing and the screw glued back in.

I will have fitted more screws than I undo, at least 6 missing.

After dealing with painting up the tracks and bogies I will be re-enforcing the hull.

Bravo! Please don't be shy about telling us how you do the reinforcing, too. We can both answer questions and learn.

Greetings EonLegs,

Your humor will be appreciated here! :haha: Do let us know how you and your Sherman come along. And once again, welcome!

Cheers,
Eric.
