Thanks for that, ive had great fun looking through the forum and gaining knowledge to help with the build, starting with the heng lon pro build tank I then added 4:1 gearboxes, made an internal aerial and added an upgraded speaker. The cupola was removed and replaced in the correct position, headlights filled with milliput and "slotted",drivers slot removed and re modelled,alloy machine gun and ball mount fitted and the ends of the turret lifting points sorted.For painting I did a base coat of acrylic and then sealed it with johnsons Klear, applying various weathering colours on top until I was happy with the finish, I have to say that the video's on youtube of Mig Jimenez were very helpful for this beginner !!
