Tony,s 205 rebuild

[wibblywobbly]

Great build work Pete, just one thing. The Zimmerit. I am sure that in 1/16th the indentations every third row would be .0062678mm whereas yours appear to be .0062677. I just thought that I would mention it.

One hundred .000000 of an mm, terrible over-site Pete. Ok time to stand against the wall and pay the price for your mistake.

Well after being away from 205 for over a month,, now,s the time to restart the old girl no pics today guys ,but we have some issues that i will have redressed before i can go on,.first the motors that tony had are lipo,s and it is thought that these will draw too much current so i have got some standard ones from Forgbear and will fit these , then i noticed that the metal tracks are both the same , which is a shame but not the end of the world , for those that don,t know any tiger tracks that have ice cleats then they are what is know as handed and we have here two battle tracks that are both left handed....then there is the back plate because it has a second skin of plastic for the zimerit , it has bent it out of shape and also it does not sit down on the hull bottom like it should so this also must be sorted....
So it goes on but undauted that i am , i shall post some pics in the days to come........

Excellent work there. Watching with interest. Hope to start on a 1/6 late tiger soon and also thinking about possibly 205. Well done. I didn't know Tony, but it's a nice thing to do in his memory.
