Sponge,
Echoing, Tanker242, I did a cursory check of Ebay and the Taigen\Asiatam components to add flash and recoil were on there for sale. If you want everything pulled together as a kit, talk to Dave from Forgebear. His specialty is finding stuff for tankers.
regards,
Painless

I love the choice of colour, in the shade it becomes quite different from when it is in the light, very clever, as to the tracks I must warn you that probably means idler adjusters, and going down the road to upgrades is the road to both lunacy and bankruptcy, not to mention the divorce court,

Cheers tanker 242, jardice I was hoping to avoid the hassle of installing idlers,I will see how the tracks fit without but will prob have to fit them in the end

the colours just standard Tamiya xf-60 dark yellow, the colour does change alot in the light, if I use a flash it becomes very yellow, but it is a decent colour

Great looking job must admit painting with an airbrush is a daunting thought,.. I'm already dropping hints to my Mrs and sons for one for xmas

Edpanzer this was only my second go with one, it's alot easier than you think to be fair, I just asked around abit on here and used you tube videos and a little trial an error! But its definitely worth it!

Hi " Sponge' nice F2 , the recoil is not that easy as it looks ' because of the space but having sed that it took me around an hour to do 3 hours to figure the wiring

i had the IR version with the older recoil gun '' after taking all the turret apart the barrel was straight swap

then just few soldering wires and assembling ,, have a good one , Ray .
