Honestly...there i was, thinking that i got the heng long mistakes sorted..then you lot do things like this..ie, your well thought out build...which for me is a nightmare!(i end up following everyones builds and not finishing mine, trying to emulate all the mods that you lot do)...its been said before, you end up with it spending more time being rebuilt than the real thing!...

hmm when you tot up all the parts assuming your going for the tamiya arms and inner bits and converting a h/long hull you may be looking at $10-20 cheaper but the hulls from asiatam are completley different to the H/long as you get metal front parts to and the detailing is way better just the parts seperate are more than the complete hulls
Hope this Helps
Rob

heres a quick glimpse of the turret and corrected position thanks to tony Tiger205s work on his
so with the old adage "He made me do it" heres some pics
also on the list was a new bin fabricated from yep you guessed it brass
commanders cupola ring soldered on (man that was scarey
)
shortened the tad too long tow hitch which i think looks a little bit better now
