Sponge,
Echoing, Tanker242, I did a cursory check of Ebay and the Taigen\Asiatam components to add flash and recoil were on there for sale. If you want everything pulled together as a kit, talk to Dave from Forgebear. His specialty is finding stuff for tankers.
regards,
Painless

I love the choice of colour, in the shade it becomes quite different from when it is in the light, very clever, as to the tracks I must warn you that probably means idler adjusters, and going down the road to upgrades is the road to both lunacy and bankruptcy, not to mention the divorce court, :haha: :haha: :haha: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Cheers tanker 242, jardice I was hoping to avoid the hassle of installing idlers,I will see how the tracks fit without but will prob have to fit them in the end :-( the colours just standard Tamiya xf-60 dark yellow, the colour does change alot in the light, if I use a flash it becomes very yellow, but it is a decent colour

Edpanzer this was only my second go with one, it's alot easier than you think to be fair, I just asked around abit on here and used you tube videos and a little trial an error! But its definitely worth it!

Hi " Sponge' nice F2 , the recoil is not that easy as it looks ' because of the space but having sed that it took me around an hour to do 3 hours to figure the wiring :/ i had the IR version with the older recoil gun '' after taking all the turret apart the barrel was straight swap :clap: then just few soldering wires and assembling ,, have a good one , Ray .
