Thanks guys feeling a bit rough today, all these blood clots in my lungs are playing havoc with my energy and breathing, but I managed to do a little bit, so as most will know with every H/L there's an accessory pack so today I've glued into place all of the tow cables and handles and tools, I wanted to make all 3 slightly different KT 1 has the most damage with missing track guards and part of front fender and will require some plastic card filling and sanding as when you cut away part of the track guards it leaves a hole so you can see the inside of the tank.,KT2 has 1 front fender removed and KT3 has both front removed.
All three have different damage to rear panel KT1 has top half of one of the exhaust missing, KT2 and KT3 have varios shell holes in exhaust covers.

KT 1 which needs the most work

KT 2

KT3

Tommorow I hope to get a little more done with some sanding and prep for base coating but now of for a chill and some oxygen.

Hi something to watch out for with the standard heng long king tiger lower hulls is the front left suspension arm twisting and jamming on the sprocket , I glued a metal strip in the arm to help stop this happening. You may also have to trim metal sprocket to stop the jamming .

Just remember each of those road wheels MUST go back in the EXACT same spot that it came off or the tank won't move and will explode. I hope you marked them all if not it may be best if you just send them all to me as I have a way to tell where the wheels all go but it's done by feel so I can't do it over the internet. I'll pm you my shipping info so you can send them all over here so I can fix them for you.








;) :haha: Kidding of course.

You are far too tidy - I was always told that a tidy desk is the sign of a sick mind! If you need a hand messing up your desk my two grand kids are available due to their school being on strike today!
