RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Chains conpleted, rear panel finished and now in place. Still to do the Fiefel filter top cannisters bracketry and bolts onto the hull panel. Thats next and then the side tow cables and mounted all ready to go.

With the fiddly parts nearly completed, i hope the top hull fittings go quickly so I can move to paint.
Despite years of idly sitting around, the compressor works perfectly and the airbrushes have been sonic bath cleaned.

Like most aspects of this hobby ( especially etch brass ) i am not very experienced with airbrushing so I shall be drawing on the vast wealth of knowlege held by you fine folk on this site. Honestly the level of work i see on these threads is staggering. It makes me smile.

Happiness to you all wherever you are. Local village beer festival this weekend so will raise a glass to you all and The Fantastic Plastic. CHEERS.

Hot tip Mr Fro-bro...............dont paint AFTER the beer festival, just saying

Thanks, was a long day as was helping out on the bar as well for a 2 hour shift, Was very busy as weather was great. Last day today. I might just survive.

Thanks for the Tip Herman

Casting detail...forgot to post. Needs sharpening with a dental tool.

Because its been rattling about in my head for a while, i decided to fabricate the twin fan units JUST IN CASE...you can see in the rear deck grills and see something.

They are obviously not meant to be exact, more like the interior I made...a general impression if looking in.

Bet the fan units cant be seen.

Ahh yes but you’ll know they’re there !!

To my aged and uninformed eyes, those fans look just like the little fans atop some MFUs and sold for use with computers and other small electronics. If I am correct, some wizard is going to come along and create a Tiger I with running fans. Cool, man, cool!

They are indeed micro cooling fans but just for show. 25mm x 25mm x 7mm,
