Damn shame about all that water, Doc, I'm about to sell my Mato PzIII, and all it needs is paint. Even has a viper for volume control and a smoke unit. But, from Detroit to Southampton would cost more than the tank, and it would be pieces when it got there. :'( :'( :'(

Appreciate that bud thanks, really should get into lipo's, those old nimh's take up so much room, especially in the little tanks - that video you were looking for

It's coming up saying that your video is private.

Panzer III's looking fantastic by the way, that paint job is really something. I can see what you mean about the metal taking the paint well, there's no way you could get a finish like that on plastic.

Thats the video fixed. I completely agree, you CAN tell that its metal underneath, metal has a strange quality that seems to add another layer of realism, quite important in models i think
