Well because I want to do subjects like half tracks and support vehicles instead and also running out of space. Also I've been spending my budget on stuff like travel as well.

"Well because I want to do...half tracks and support vehicles...[a] stuff like travel as well." Those are excellent reasons, yes!

I have a WCP (Will and Catherine's) SdKFz. 251 and a CCKW waiting for electronics. And travel is just wonderful, if a bit out of my reach at this time. Enjoy both!

Very very nice MrC.
Nice detail you took the front mudguard partially off.
Did that on mine too.
Maybe you should search for something to fill up the holes in the sprocketwheels?
I always fill them up with these, available at IKEA warehouses. No clue if they do have those warehouses in your area?

Changed both sprocketwheels lately, and cut off the main gun. Did not want to spend some extra money on another barrel.

Ok, so I'm using a new image host BUT it doesn't support video.
So I'm still going to share using Imgur for some things like video.
Here she is showing her Asiatam Recoil with the Heng Long TK7.0. This was the first recoil conversion that I did with help for you guys most notably Meter Rat.
Sorry Ian these videos won't work for you but know that this recoil for some reason is bomb proof and works well every time. Not like everyone's and my experience with the same type of Recoil unit. I have a total Love/Hate relationship with them and is why I've moved on to Servo recoil now.
