Re: 1/16 Asiatam Famo
Hi Ken, You have made a great job of the "Famo". I am still not finished fighting the shortcomings of "Asiatam"s Panzer 4 Metal Hull but I have had an ambition to build a 1/16 Famo as part of a Prime mover and trailer combination,
But going back to when Steve at http://www.welshdragonmodels first started selling the "Asiatam" Metal hull for the PZ4 which almost immediately got almost constant complaints of the sub standard hull and Steve's decision to reimburse everyone who suffered and refusing to sell anymore of them I kept putting it off,
Reassure me OR NOT!! that the "Famo" is a more presentable kit of parts.

Re: 1/16 Asiatam Famo
Hey Shaun thanks mate.... I feel your pain on the P4 lower hull built one of those for a customer in the US and its was a shit fight to say the least. The Famo comes ready built, all you need is radio gear, battery , servo for steering and a control board to run it. Its pretty rough and some of the metal parts are softer then plastic and break looking at them. I am still having trouble getting mine to reverse without the tracks on one side binding up.....jarndice wrote:Hi Ken, You have made a great job of the "Famo".
