Thanks for the compliment, its turned out to be a great tank in all respects. If I had to change anything it would be better wheels and suspension but that is big bucks, so until I can either find a Tamiya lower or upgrade this one, it will have to stay as it is.

Have you seen my Pershing thread? I have a few cheap and easy ways to beef up the HL Pershing lower.

Disclaimer: I have very little modeling skill, so my mods tend to be more functional than pretty. Especially on this tank, as it was my first.

As for upgrade parts, I've had very good luck with tankarmy.com

Even with shipping, I can usually get better prices than my local source because of the AU conversion rate.

Thanks for the link, the suspension is out of stock, but I will keep checking back.

Sorry about that. I've been out of the tanking loop for several months, and my knowledge base for whom has what stock is a bit out of date. I looks like they have everything but the wheels and return rollers. Well, they have the "faulty" wheels in stock for really cheap, but no hubcaps. Even aliexpress doesn't have any.

No worries, Hobby Raw has them, but at double the price of Tank Army, so I will give them a miss for now.
