Tiger rebuild

Post by frankie »

Had a basketcase Tiger kicking around for few years...decided to make her IR ready...
not planning to go too far into the detailing, just want a generic battler...

to be honest shes nearly there..she's had a clarke board in the past so she's already got servo recoil...just got to do a bit of rewiring to take my electronics tray, replace a couple of broken detail bits and the a paint job...
