She has some crew members now too. Not sure about cutting them down to size so they fit in the hatches. What does everyone else think?

Hmm if they are going to stay put in the hatches I would plus they are relatively cheap to buy.... Your other option is to buy a set of verlinden crew like I have in my Porsche KT

Cheers Reaper. They came from Hong Kong, and were fairly cheap. I might just buy another set to hack into size then, hehe! Thanks for your input. Shane.

No worries Shane, she's a nice KT you have there, and I love how much the small things can change the overall look of the tank .............

I have some more parts on the way, and a paintjob this weekend, so all good so far. Thanks for the encouragement!

Sweet look forward to seeing her new colours.........

Cool, you got the antenna.. I have it too but yet to install.. How did you install yours? Did you dremmel away the plastic antenna base and then glue it on?

And where did you get the figures? They look cool.. Are they on 1:16 scale?

Here's a picture of my tank (still completly stock on the outside) together with my Forces of Valor Tiger I:

About the inside, I'm not sure I'll stick with the current HL+Beier-sound electronics setup.. It runs ok on flat smooth survices, but on carpet or outside with a bit of resistance it impossible to do smooth turns etc with the HL-RX18 controls.. Elmod is a lot better at this.. Also the sound, the Beier module sounds really awesome and the latest V1.10 firmware adds some really cool features like deactivate trackrecoil when firing maingun etc, but there seems to be some bug in it which makes the tank not respond anymore when using left stick up to fire the airsoft gun.. These issues push me towards upgrading to a complete Elmod system I think..

Hi Inf. The figures came from a guy in Hong Kong, I can post a link to his e-Bay site if you like? They got here in 5 days, so quite fast shipping. They are 1:18 scale, from what I can tell.

I soldered the wires of the aerial, have to get some cutting attachments for my Dremmel so just Loctite on the base at the moment.

nice

Nicely done Shane
