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.Son of a gun-ner wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:27 pm Yay, it turned up.
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

Re: New acquisition
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!).

Re: New acquisition
Still haven’t powered it up yet. That will be tomorrow..
£98. + £12 something for delivery.
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.Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 7:10 pm I am surprised by the damage, for the Torro tanks I have from Torro or Licmas all survived the overseas trip unscathed.
