Looks like it should have brushless motors in it and a spoiler on the back like a tracked truggy!

Good Afternoon, Merlin,
It really came together! I see your floor through the engine grills and one scope spot on the cupola tho' Are there sponsons under the casemate like a Tiger or Panther would have? Beautiful metal details there. It looks like a serious Runner.
regards,
Painless

Hi guys thanks for the comments.

Painless, I am yet to fit the side panels under the sides as I am fitting the Taigen quick release mechanism and locking plates.

I will be doing the first test run tomoz to make sure everything is aligned track and wheel wise.

Progress has been slow recently on this build due to other commitments, however I have recently had time to push on and get quite a lot done.

All my ancilliary items have now been affixed and I have finished my small detail items.

I have also sprayed on my first base coat prior to deciding on my final paintscheme (any ideas for this would be welcomed)

Unfortunately because space is of a premium inside I am unable to rig up a barrel elevation system to the RX18 set up. May have to look into an IBU Pro at some point so I can utilise micro servos to help with this.

As per usual any comments and or criticism is most welcome.

I have finally decided on an ambush paintscheme for my E-25, so I decided to just go for it and spray away. Hopefully you guys like it as I'm quite taken with it.

I just need to add some numerics and the black cross then it's completed.

Again just to say a big thanks to Chris Ludwig for his kit, it really is a great kit and was fun and challenging.
