IF YOU WANT THINGS TO STICK
DON'T THINK BIX

ALPHA

So thanks for all the advice my selection of glues have arrived, so they are all ready to go, I wondered please if I could ask if my plans are unrealistic for a beginner.

Here is what I have to work with.....



Although I don't dislike the colour the way it is I'd like to at least consider the possibility of desertising in the future, so will I have to completely dismantle the tank to paint it a different colour, then I don't really know how to paint it, I have an air brush on order but I've never used one before, is this something of a fine art, I don't want to ruin it or can I just have a go and redeem the situation if I mess up?

so using this book for inspiration ....



I'm thinking, desert and a more operational theme.

Now I've been reading through the forums and heard the words "the tanks runs well" my tanks runs but I really have absolutely no idea what constitutes a good runner, my tank may be running really badly I just wouldn't know, any advice on this would be appreciated, my tank does go in all directions quite smoothly by the way.

I hear a sigh at more new boy questions but I do appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,

Willy....

If your fabrication skills are up to par...Sky is the limit
This is an earlier variant of the Leo...but I thought this was an outstanding build

For the LEO????? Forgebear for internals...but like most of the modern tanks...and even though the Leo has been out for a long long time...in most cases you'll probably have to do detail work from scratch ...reason it's kind of cool that MEXAS came in...now you can communicate through PMs and such

Thanks very much Alpha.

Regards
