Yes indeed Mark... to be honest...couldn't really stand to look at it anymore :haha:

It looks easy.... but I think Taigen is uses the same blueprint...you have to remove the entire firing mech to access the screws for the mantlet... once you do that try hitting it out with a punch and hammer.... I think what I finally ended up doing because of the curse of the Heng Long glue monkey ...was to use my flush cutters and cut the eye just enough not to damage the LED....I'm going to do another repaint on that tank...so the firing warning light will be relocated to the rear... thanks to Scalawag .. I now know what the Panther convoy light looks like... so I will install it in one of those :D

Have fun with your new baby Mark :thumbup:

ps .. Sorry didn't really take an angle shot showing it painted after I removed it

Marko,
You have an amazing buy of a Tank Destroyer there! The newer guns are quite nice! ( You will shoot your eye out with that. ) Taigen does do some extra cool paintwork on their vehicles. Enjoy!
regards,
Painless
