I can't say for sure, but I don't see why not. Mega steam was originally made for Model Railroaders and that's still their main market.

Thx mate

Once again I will offer my services, I live about 100 miles north from where mega steam smoke fluid is made so shipping to me is fast and inexpensive. I will order and re ship mega steam to any where in the world you want all you do is pay for the mega steam and then the shipping to you I do not add any mark up or fees for me doing this. Just PM me and we'll get you some mega steam on the way!

Thanks, Jack, for the offer, I shall certainly take you up on that when I'm out and about again. Thanks especially considering the crap you've just been through. Here's how I was at Christmas with a double break of the ankle..needing 13 titanium screws and a plate. I'm almost roboscot now (slowly mending, though..frustratingly slow ). Then here's my brand new T34..just waiting for me to get mobile :thumb: For markings it has '36-CYBOPOB'..translated CYBOPOB is, apparently, (Field Marshal) Suvorov, a russian military hero who was said never to have lost a battle. Smartarse.

I have yet to buy a tammy myself, but I can say the Taigen has improved quite a bit with each new tank. Torro, as well. The new Jagdtiger (I guess it ain't so new anymore, got it last summer) is Torro and very well built, and the taigen Sherman is quite robust, at least on par with my Mato all metal PzIII lower hull. Both are quite stout.

Thanks for the vid..and the MacLeod mantra Highlander's film castle Eilean Donan is only 50 miles from where I live; and there can be only ONE like it!

I still plan to base mine on Dunstaffnage. For my fellow Yanks that haven't seen it, this is what's planned for the village this summer. This is a model (couldn't find a photo of this view) and after that is the the floor plan I'll be working from.

I have best solution that works for all. Remove the smoke unit and save internal space then run the tank without smoke!

That was a conclusion many of us came to a long time ago until Ian (TANKBEAR) began selling the TARR range of smokers which are far superior to HENG LONG/TAIGEN/TORROs offerings.

I didn't know about TARR smoker. However, I have had enough with stock HL smoker and I remove and throw it away even when my tank was bought new. Another thing is the 6mm airsoft jams easily. Though I can disassemble and clean it but it's just too troublesome.

You are absolutely right about the rubbish HENG LONG airsoft Ammunition,
Much better to buy a decent product of which there is a large choice available.

Bird, you should take a look at some of the acoustic smoker work that Normand is doing. It just might make you think it's worth the effort. And I agree with Shaun, bad ammo can be bad news, so I ALWAYS look for the word "seamless".

I just don't think a T-34 would be the same without all that diesel smoke billowing out the back, like it's on it's last legs ... until it blows you to smithereens.
