Fresh from the assembly line.

Added 3:1 gear reduction, reworked Heng Long recoil, mounted switches and charging jack topside. 

You're got to be kidding us YHR
that's too *bling* fresh tobe out side without an escort 

she's a nice one YHR, what have you used to paint it to get that metallic effect?, what camo' are you going to paint it or are you going to keep it like this?

It has a coat of chrome spray paint out of a can.  This stuff is amazing as it coats incredibly well and dries fast.  Once dry a heavy wash of black was applied to tone down the shine.  I have done the last four tanks like this, but this one may just stay in the "metal" state.  It just looks heavy, and in pictures it almost looks as if it is made out of metal.  I was going to go with the tricolor scheme, but for now I decided to stop.

nice one YHR, we have chrome paint here in blighty, i may give it a go, then enter it for pimp my ride

That is one great looking tank and i did think it was all metal when i first looked, dont change a thing it looks great

Hi there,
            That is one hell of a nice looking paint job,make it easy to chip of the camo finish to expose the base metal,great idea will try this on my next tank.

Well it got its battle colors today.

I also painted the bottom third of the lower glacis plate black to hide the incorrect angle of the Heng Long model.  I think it was pretty effective without going to a lot of work

Hello YHR,
      Nice looking tank and paint job. But also have to agree with the others that the kind of matalic
look it had did also look very darn good.
