This is one of the most important TIPs you will ever get! whenever you are going to fit a new piece of kit to your build FIRST do a dry run before any glue or screwdriver or anything permanent takes place, for instance I recently bought a set of suspension arms and a set of axles, before placing them into the hull of my TIGER 1 I checked each axle in each suspension arm and surprise surprise half of them would not fit until I reamed out the holes with a 3mm drill bit and then I found one of the GRUB screws would not reach the axle so into the spares box for a replacement, my point being if I had fitted the arms and axles without checking you would have heard my language from here to ALPHA's bijou residence in the Pacific. We all know how much we want to get on with the build (according to ALPHA !) But a few minutes going over everything first will save not just your temper. shaun

....Staff Sargent Shaun.... I made Capt.. not EL Presidente yet... so I cannot accept blame for anything............ YET
With that said... I do agree with this tip.... it is always important that things fit.... reason with my displeasure with many Taigen so called "upgrade" parts I have purchased during the past two months...as mostly everything with that branding has required a lot of attention before working to any degree ... even the hatches on the L70

Capt ALPHA

PS. If I ever do reach a rank where blame comes into view.... you have to know Shaun... you will be one of the first I will delegate responsibility too ....It's referred to Style of command ...my Style is to delegate Take care my friend

Oh my regal master, my true majesty, to hear is to obey, You carry yourself in a manner that is far superior to a mere Captain, tell me, when you bathe do you enter the water or walk upon it. Your umble umble servant, shaun

I'm a Capt... with the soul of a Grunt....I bathe like any other man... Perhaps if this board has a rank of Supreme Being...at that time would I not only walk on water....but not need to bathe at all


ALPHA

I should be most surprised if you were not superior to a mere supreme being. shaun
