Sorry to hear about the damage, such a pain.
I've got to ask, is that barrel ok? Am I right in thinking it looks like it's stuck in the recoiled position, just like the early Heng Long Tiger 1's :think:
It is what it is. They are chucked around from China, to Holland, to the UK, and I need to damage the Zimmerit anyway. Saves me two minutes work. As for the barrel. I hadn’t noticed, as I haven’t powered it up yet. Waiting on the battery to charge for a full test.

I am surprised by the damage, for the Torro tanks I have from Torro or Licmas all survived the overseas trip unscathed. Please don‘t sweat the little details too much. Enjoy! By the way, I have encountered some folks who think the crates to be an expensive superfluity. Maybe so, but they are actually handy for transport; if they get bumped up a bit, it‘s just realism, and making them oneself is more costly (my woodworking pal actually estimated the cost per crate for us to try. Yikes!).

If I was not going to rip it apart, or it was my first model I would be bothered. However as I am a realist and I intend to paint it, give it damage and generally bog about with it, I won’t loose sleep over some minor damage.
