A rather productive weekend... fabricated a new smoke channel... simplified to one hose... used the board to cover the refill hole ... the part on the bulkhead was made from a TiPanther's cleaning kit ...works perfect ....photos
Also did a bit of tidy on the electricals... putting the battery terminal back where it belonged
Guide rollers installed... these were a PiB as well... seems Taigen doesn't feel they should provide you with what Heng Long does in the way of appropriate fit... both the screws in the Taigen Kit and Heng Long were too big...the Heads had to be machined down .. and a little filing done to the axle holes to clean them up
Relocated the antenna...plugged the hole with sprue... sanded and done...less than five minutes
New location
Antenna in stored position... also new metal cupola ....it was the easiest to change out... just twist and turn
Antenna raised... entire package as she stands ...a few more details .. she should be a go for paint
Panzer Vor Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
