Tanktrouble

Post by Patches3 »

Hello, i have a model 3088 size 1/24 tank that i got at as a present from a friend. It has no manual or anything. I wanted to know if anyone can tell me how to load the bbs and how to fire it. I know the middle button on te controller shoots but nothing happens. It doesnt even make a noise. Let me know if you know the answer. Thank you!

There is an on/off switch in one of the cupolas to activate the BB gun........ What is the 3088 again ? I used to owned all three of them but can't remember what 3088 is. The BB chute should be at the same spot as the switch if I remember correctly.

i lookedat the two that are there and one has a chute but no switch. there is just an empty square. is it there? i took it apart an the whole mechanism is there. what do i do? is the switch somewhere else?
it is a panzer with two openings on top. the turret moves almost al the way around and it is really big.

Can you send a pic ? 3088 is not a Heng Long number and I think it is a 1/12 M1 Abram and not 1/24 scale.

yes, this is the one. the only diffrence is that the barrel on mine is short and fat. it still has the silver tube the bb shoots out of.
