just following your thread alpha , the mesh I got was from a sieve from the local £1 store .just hope the asiatam recoil unit will work on it for recoil &flash .as it is not the rx 18 unit in the new 2nd generation 2.4ghz .tanker 242

I don't think you will have any problems fitting the recoil unit in it....HL makes an IR version too...their recoil is huge...so there is plenty enough room for the asiatam
I got the first gen of T34s as they entered China and the US...at the time the only mesh available was from the Trumpeter kit...and heck if I was going to buy one of those at 150+ just for the mesh lol...at times my methods are very old school...I like to try and use what I have available...the mesh I finally used was from a thrift store...also cost me about a dollar...the best thing about going that route is you have plenty to work with..and use for other models

Is that with the newer (smoke button) 2.4GHz set? Still not bought one as each time I look either the radio gear or turret rotation seems to be on the brink of improving....

hi robW yes its the new 2.4ghz with the volume &smoke on/off button on the control where the crystal used to be on the old one.tanker 242

That must be the all plastic version for that price ?
