dear all
i've recently got in to rc tanks. as a kid i use to build a great many static models. Now i have some money to spare i've bought two heng long tanks, a tiger 1 and panther (with tiger running gear and gun oops). I'm looking for advice on how to get the upper hull off both. I've been told that you need to be careful as you may unscrew the running gear. For the panther i've bought a sheet of plastic that i want to mould into a proper shaped panther either a d or g model, probably the d version so i need to get into the front hull to remove the oversized machine gun cupola and re-sight the front light to its central position. Also the gun works but doesn't fire ant where near the distance the tiger shoots. \as for the tiger, it is the smoking version but that doesn't work. I believe the problem may lie inside ! I have also ordered a zimmerit kit so i need to detach all the stuff at the rear to attach rear zimmerit.
I've always been into tanks and ww2 aircraft and really enjoy painting/weathering etc. I also enjoy online gaming and am currently playing a game called ARMA 2 on line with a clan called 527th. Looking forward to meeting you all and hope to get a good education on modelling.
