Good Afternoon,
1100.00 ... I cannot speak for anyone but myself but I would be waiting for a Taigen metal hull for this tank. It is a beautiful piece of work.
regards,
Painless

Also been quiet for a while whilst I gather pics to begin detailing the outside.

Hi ALPHA,
I went to RCTank.de for the tensioner. Dealt with them lots in the past, brilliant service, and the idler adjuster is about the same price as Henntec charge.

Thanks Scalawag...kind of skeptical about ordering from them...I know they service the UK ok...now sure about here on this rock

Lol yeah it took an age to mask it all up, and now it all has to come back off. Worth it though I think

Another reason I opted for the self-adhesive anti-slip - masking can be such a pain to do
Looks very close to the real thing. Good job!

Looks good. Way better at getting a textured surface like than mr surfacer. Wonder if you can also use it to make casting textures?
