hi Chris
couple of mods worth doing are extending the barrel to it's proper length and opening the rear hatches.
Ross

hi ross the mods you have done are very very good i like the way your pershing looks dirty as for opening hatches im not that good and how much longer should the barrel be and what did you use, i shaved 1.5mm off each side of the fenders im now thinking about cutting off the front fenders

chris

i added 30mm to the barrel ,i found a ball point pen that was the right thickness

hi Chris
It's 30mm. I had aluminium tube the correct diameter so it was a matter of replacing the old plastic mid barrel section with the new.
Ross

thanks ross ill see what i have lying around

chris

i have done what jrc suggested extended barrel also made jerry can box with brass chain im still pondering if to cut off front track guards







chris

chris
