Re: At last its here
Alan,
Glad it arrived safe and sound! You'll be busy, it's almost like building a regular model kit. Take some time and research the Unit History and use the Markings to pick out a Tank. The Decals provided are inclusive and of course, there are all types available on the Web. For detailing, I added a longer Radio Aerial at the rear of the turret than what Coolback had provided. A bit of brass in the form of a thumb Type fastener finished that off. I added a second Handle to the turret mounted Spot having seen it in a photo. (Not all tanks had it that I am aware of)
Handles were manufactured from spares to fit the Inspection Covers on the Engine Deck. Have fun, it really is a well designed and produced RC Tank.
regards,
Painless
