I like it a lot. Nice paint job.

Looks really good

How did you do the damage to the side skirts? Was thinking of doing something similar on mine.

you heat them up with a heat gun , then when soft just bend them to the shape your after , just be carefull when heating  as not to warp the tank

Re the Elmod kit, I would appreciate some feedback. I am looking to install it but need to know what to buy to get the full potential from it. Their website confuses the hell out of me? If I ring them do I get an English speaking tech advice person? Sorry for sounding thick but they sell so many similar sounding options that I don't want to order the wrong stuff. I am looking for boards that will run upgraded motors, sound, proportional everything, and replacing all of the HL stuff whilst keeping the airsoft, and smoke if it can?

I have a full metal HL Tiger, weighs about 3kg.

They have reduced a few of their prices so now seems a good time to buy!

Cheers
