Your doing a great job on your Tiger.....looks really well done
Heres a pic of my Plastic pipes.....all I did was use cotton rapped round and round with pva glue to hold in place. Then just painted then matt black. I'm happy with them for now
This is a fairly old pic so some weathering has been done since
Happy Tanking

Thank you Mark, my first ever positive comment from a fellow Tankie. Like your idea, I've followed a link in the 'Tips' section and ordered some of that tubular meshing stuff.

I would if I could figure out how to attach a photo from my smartphone.

Ok, I tried cropping the image to 1.5MB because I got an error saying the max size is 2 MB. Now I get an error saying max size is 350 KB?!?

Hi Dusty, I just viewed your Intake pipes on RCU, I was a bit disappointed because the original which "ABER" have copied with their usual great detail Is 12 sided and ribbed around the whole length,
Sorry I have no wish to be so critical but my own variant is also wrong but at least with the modification with magnets that I installed in conjunction with the TAIGEN quick release I can open the body quickly,Whereas the "ABER" tubes make opening the Tank no easier than HENG LONGs own tubes.

No problem. I'm not a rivet counter and wanted to show you how it looked after eliminating that awful shine. The hoses are flexible and it takes about 5 seconds for me to open the hull.
