Good afternoon,
This is great work on a difficult hybrid build using a PanTiger. Do you plan on using a Tamiya or Taigen barrel to add the correct length? Following along.
regards,

Thanks painless i will probably use a heng long panther g barrel as more easily found like i did in my panther a build. the pantigers a nice turret but barrel is horribly toy like and out of scale.
