Hi Trev
Well the T55 is up and running

.Sat down in the sun out in the garden

when it was all in, switched on, all the sounds NO movement

done the set up still no move

had the small book for the M26,the T.O6 is the same

.Tirm to the top rev up trim back to the center and away she went

.Now just got to sort out the recoil unit

.Hope to see some more upgrades for it e:g metal tracks and better heavy machine gun.We can only hope

...Regards,Brian

Hi Brian
Great to hear its up and moving about, you mentioned upgrades, ive seen some metal tracks, but they aren't cheap:

Still, would be a very cool bit of armour with metal boots on!

Hi Trev
My god thats a lot money for a set of tracks

,still they do look nice.I think as time goes by there well be more bits&bobs for it, will have to wait and see

.Hope tomorrow to start to put the dust coat on and start to get her looking dirty

and get the decals on, got to order a recoil unit don"t like the look of the one you get with the kit

.And got to find a better place for the speaker,i think it might fit in the turret???....All the best trev,...Brian

Hi Brian
I will be changing my recoil unit shortly, and as for the speaker, I have mine in the turret under the gunners hatch, fits quite well actually, will get a pic up for you shortly.
Yes, the tracks look good, but as you say, bit dear!

I am contemplating building one of these. I live in Canada so first I need to find a supplier. Any suggestions?
I was following this thread but the pictures are not displaying. Too bad as I was hoping to see some cool build pics.
Any help would be appreciated.
