Hello professor,

The hedge cutter does not come attached, it just clips onto the two front tow shackle eye mounts and can be fitted or removed quite easily :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

I got an Email saying mine were on the way also... :D

Thanks, Model Builder 4. I guessed that was so, but I couldn't wait to find out. The hedgerow cutter is such a fine piece of G.I. engineering, but I always thought it looked imbalanced. Yet it will be great to be able to attach and detach the hedgerow cutter.

A new tank crew took control of the stuart today, looking a bit grey and pastie at the moment, I think they need a bit of sun :thumbup:

My Stuart has cleared Customs in Toronto, Ontario, a mere 3.5hrs down the highway. Crossing fingers for tomorrow!

The Stuart has landed! Looks like a nice bit of tank. Anxious to see the guts of it, but The Stanley Cup playoffs await!

Does the remote/receiver combo come with multiple tank sounds? Wondering because I might consider getting a second one and use the innards in one of my 1/16 scale static models.

Funny story; I might -already- be getting a second one. Ordered one on Banggood, Banggood replied after 2 weeks of waiting that they had problems getting stock and if I would mind waiting. I did mind and cancelled my order. Got my money back. Wanted to order on AliExpress but they would/could not match the price/offer on Banggood. After a week decided "Screw the wait, €25 euros is €25 euros" and ordered on Banggood again. Last Wednessday got a shipping notice from Banggood. Thursday I got a -second- shipping notice from Banggood. Two different tracking numbers. Two different shippers. Parcel details are the same. Now we wait...
