ok, this is my first attempt at modding a heng long tiger, im happy with how its going so far, its nothing like the great ones ive seen on here but we all got to start somewhere,
here is a list of what has been changed or done so far......
metal tracks,metal gearboxes, smoke box with fan fitted, fan fitted to rx14 board, power switch moved to manual crank start plate, volume switch mounted between rear engine grills, smoke box swich mounted in engine grills, barrel extended, l.e.d machine gun, mantlet swapped around, capola turned around, road wheels sanded down to take away the shine, silver metal tracks dulled in vinegar (looks great now) metal sprockets/idlers, drivers view hatch opened, ariel moved and shortend,smoke pipes exit from the exhaust,oil refill fitted under airfilter pipe, weatherd in real mud, added rust affect, branches/bushes ect added, step/grab handle added on front, headlight covers, rusty chains fitted,battle damage,lots of parts painted.
i know alot of thing may not be correct for the tiger but i wanted to make it my own, it is very good in the local forest and people love watching it, i have many other items i wish to get for it and add ect, like gun flash in barrel, 360 turn turret, metal road wheels, maybe a creaping death turret, rx18 board, ect the list goes on as you all know so well.......... i love this hobby and realy enjoy it, ive added some pics too, thanks trev.
