I did,which is nice if you want to add servo to make the gun movement automated. My Tamiya Porsche has that function. Here are the break down pictures of the lower hull. I was impressed with a few things,the hardware was consistent,meaning washers on the control arms and the idlers had washer and bushings which is nice.the rear idler mounts are a separate piece that can be removed with out to much trouble.

I note this because it does make after-market adjustable idler assemblies easier to install. The drive housing also are retained with a screw and could be pried off to install the support bearing mod. Each step forward in quality is better value for us.

On a side note...I see you like StarTrek as well

[Saxondog]

Junkie for Star Trek,the book was a gift from my Little girl Sarah. But yes, and here with NETFLIX ever eposode of all 4 series anytime,no commercials,I going through Voyager for about the third time in two months.

Brannon Braga lived on the same street as I grew up on in L.A.,I meet him win my mom died and I returned home,he was a nice guy with a vision,that was 1995. My favorite is Star Trek Enterprise- really can't see why that was not as popular as Voyager,just FYI ,Matt is a STAR Trek Junkie as well,never really liked Deep space Nine,the Farangie always reminded me of a use car sales men,But Voyager and Enterprise are tops.

Can't see why you guy don't get Netflix? 8.95 A MONTH,watch any show any time,no commercials,even the original Star Trek,plus all the movies about Star Trek,plus other SCI-FI,one that they don't have is 1999,That was a favorite growing up,just found two Die-cast,really detailed moon landers from that show,not sure of the scale but about 500mm long.

I really enjoy Voyager,was watching an episode when you posted. https://www2.netflix.com/

Am a huge fan of it all. Have been right from a kid..well i still am a big kid and never going to grow up

the Farangie always reminded me of a use car sales men

Now that did make me ..am never going to see a Farangie or a used car sales man in the same light ever again

[Saxondog]

Wait till your making the deal on a used car and the sales men starts rubbing his ear

You will not be able to stop laughing and the poor guy will be lost. But the favorite is Star Trek Enterprise,now the question all fans cannot agree on,who is Hottest, Tapual,or 7 of Nine?

This is the most debatable of all,I guess it's ok the Hijack my own thread? No I will set the right example and start a post in off topic.

They are intimidating, I sure as hell would not of wanted to face one on the battlefield. The one in the picture is my next project,The paintwork will be difficult due to the Zimmerit,but I do my best. I am gaining new confidence with every tank,progressing too by the input of the guys here on the forum,

Hey man I hope your feeling better? And that injury heals quickly,I Really feel for you and so close to the meet. All the best Jeff, cheers

[streetfighterjeff]

cheers blake, settled to a dull ache now, with occasional trips into shooting pain, but not too bad at the moment. your tanks are looking better and better with every one you do bud. and they didn't look too shabby when you started mate.
