Hi there I'm new to tanks but I want to fit an led machine gun to the hull of my tiger with the mantle gun that's already fitted, I have the rx18 MFU do I need to add a resistor to the led and if so what size, thanks for any advice.

Thanks guys just waiting for the gun to arrive and then decide how to mount it , fixed or movable, this tanking lark does keep you busy.

Alfiecat, if you have a daughter she will almost certainly have a necklace made up of plastic beads, pinch one with the promise of a cream cake and you will find it will do the job perfectly, somewhere on the Heng Long site on the forum there is a Tiger 1 build it describes the whole process apart from pinching childrens toys that is. the site is titled Building a mid production Tiger 1 by Tanks For The Memory. shaun

That's me! See link below...

As I say there the actual ball should be smaller - but that's hard to spot once fitted.
