Thank you for the comments , jarndice mentioned a spray guard earlier I'm just waiting for the metal to arrive, but I'm loving the box over the Ibu, looks like I'll be going shopping again! I've only just fitted the taigen gears, your right Paul I'm very impressed with them, quiet and with no issues! I'll put some new pics up tomorrow if I can.

Cheers Jim

Here's some more pic's Still lots to do but I'm chuffed with how she's turning out so far, just waiting on the postie now hopefully he will bring me some goodies!

Hi all, apologies for not being around, progress has been very slow I've not had a lot of time to do much but I thought I'd post a pic and show where I'm at so far , I'm still working the lower hull, cramming in as much as possible, please excuse the speakers my son decided to find out what happens when you push the middle bit , so I'll be replacing it at some point! Any way loads more work yet to do, I'll post as much as I can

Cheers Jim

Looking good Jim. The interior is so neat and tidy
What are your thoughts on the mato metal road wheels. I have the same lower hull and am having a bit of issue with the road wheels.
Is that tube around the hull in your last photo for smoke?
Cheers

Hi, the wheels are ok but just ok there's to much end float on most and one or two have slight bends on the rims but they seem strong at least! What's happening with your wheels?,

The pipe is being used as an air tank for the compressor fitted behind I'm planning on air powered cannon , I've just put it back together after leak checking it just need to finish off the turret and firing mech now I can't wait to start painting but I've still got loads to do.

Fit fvp camera
Smoke unit
Finish speaker plate
Gun firing mech
Turret servos etc etc it never ends

No it never ends
That canon looks like it means business.
My wheels are just wobbly and some bind together.
Going to try some brass tube to see if I can stop the wobble !

Looks like a precision instrument. I like the clean lines, and neat spatial values. Wizard!

Some of my wheels bind but as I added more weight they free themselves but I've had little to no wobble from them the quality of the kit is abit hit and miss but I'm still gonna do another one after this I love the fact it's metal

Thank you! I've had to keep it neat to fit everything in! I'm already thinking how to add smoke to the cannon as well as the retract, some more head scratching me thinks!
