It was an early Heng long without smoke or sound and looks to have not been used much at all, I brought a Taigen chassis for it and converted it to Heng long 2.4ghz, fitted sound and a modified smoker unit. I would like to eventually use a IBU2 board so I can play with sound cards and stuff and use a 2.4 ghz transmitter and receiver.I have fairly good modelling skills but no way could I weather a model like how this is done, I find this sort of work fascinating.
The second Tiger I have biult up for a friends son, it was an old Heng long Tiger in bluey grey colour, slightly beaten up and needing some TLC. I was told to do it similar to Tiger 131 but think I have the colours a bit "out" but think it looks quite striking despite this.
I have fitted cast white metal hatches all over, metal smoke launchers and seperate tools, and etched brass debris screens on the rear grilles. It has a new aluminium barrel and LED machine gun, I didn't do the mantlet correction or any other heavy stuff, just kept it to a light make-over to start with.
No weathering on this one yet, it looks factory fresh compared to some of the awesome models I've seen on this forum.
