Thanks for the comments :thumbup: It's standard apart from the metal tracks and the uprated idler adjuster kit and i am still tweaking the turret rotation as it sticks from time to time but doing away with the battery y lead should cure things as i can see where the conections are rubbing the turret underside.
Have a good one

I did ALICE on a heng long quite a while back. If you want to add a detail that Tamiya didn't include in its decal sheet the drivers name Fenchy should be on the hull front just under his hatch. On the real tank its painted on by hand in very small letters.
