Yesterday I decided to redo the intake piping of my "kitten"...
My automotive electrician gave me the wiring casings, which are used in cars.
To get the form of the tube, I use backflow pipe from diesel cars. I cleaned it from cloth coating. Purified rubber tube was treated with an glue and then was putted on the new coating.
Here's the result:

As I rebiult this tank from 27MHz to 2,4 GHz, it don't need aerial at all. But I have plans to mount it in correct position.
Chains I used for air filters have the lenght of the link aprox 1mm. I found all chains in cheep bijouterie shop. Theese chains came from necklaces.

Well, first of all, really nice brushing.
The result looks really very good.
And also the details you already added are very good.
But:
You did such a wonderful brushing. Why do you leave so many wrong details as they are, and on the same time you do details like changing the airfilter tubes and small chains and....
I don“t get it. Now, whenever you change something, you have to repaint.

nice job on the painting mate. As for the tank rider on the back that panzer grenadier is going to be in battle for a very short time ! Why ? He has an mp44 but is carrying mp40 ammo

! may want to change that to an mp40 (schmeisser ) other than that great job.
