Ja, dat's a start--and the steel gearbox and metal tracks will made a good upgrade. And having the HengLong 7.0 Multi Function Unit is as good as it gets short of big bucks change-outs. You will have lots of possibilities for upgrading the appearance of the Tiger 1, too. For perhaps no other 1/16 tank are there so many aftermarket goodies. Just ask if you get interested.
Although the Rustoleum 2X gray primer is far too light for the German Dunkelgrau, it is a primer I have used often on 1/16 RC tanks and other models. But for German Panzers the primer was reddish: among the Rustoleum line, the 2X red primer is a great choice from my experience. On the real WWII Panzers, Dunkegrau (or Dunkegelb) went over the reddish primer.
