Thanks, I really like to see build thread. It gives a lot of good tips and ideas.
For the PE, It's certainly really really nice body decorate but I wonder if it's too fragile for an outside runner like RC Tank, is it?

i look at it this way most of the small bits are out of harms way and if the mud guards and side skirts get bent and buckled then it will add to the effect , well thats my view anyway

A lot of the tiny parts I use a high-strength epoxy resin to glue them on, and use thin copper wire to hold it down as well. So far I haven't had any bits come off. Just dont superglue them, they'll fall off on even the slightest bump. :haha:

Thanks, Rik & Cliff.
Well, I have one clumsy wife and no kid, I might give it a chance with my Tamiya KT project next year.

Hi

I like the fact that you have given it what seems to be a decent home and some TLC. I'm puzzled by the fact that if you were keen to spend the money on something like a Tamiya tank you'd atleast keep it and give it a decent paint job. Take your time and get it right as it looks like you are.
