My First RC Tank, Taigen Tiger I Early
Let me introduce you to the RC Kitty that started it all for me. My Taigen Tiger I Early, Metal, BB. This is my second go at "Decorating" as my Wife says, errr "Weathering" this tank. The stock paint job is comically violet hued. Keep bearing with me guys I've got the posting pics down, now I'm working on taking pics better. So don't be surprised if I post reshoot pics, now I'm working on lighting and other stuff. I hope you enjoy-

Nice! Your kitty is all dusty, and it has the bucket that everybody likes (me, too). I do agree that the stowage needs to be lashed down securely, as not only will the bucket clatter (not likely audible compared to the racket of the Maybach and the clatter of tracks), but the stowage will bounce and jounce. I suspect that the ways Germans secured any stowage were even less inventive than the Americans, who seemed always to haul stuff about.

Ok,ok, ok guys I got it, you want straps or rope. I will work on that next I promise. But now I'm going to work on taking pics. One of the fun things about this hobby is always finding something else/new to modify or upgrade.
