Is a dog yard for a dog? I ran my Tiger 1 in my neighbors yard. A dog's yard and my reward was a unseen gift from that dog. The tracks and hull were "weathered."Comment

Area was cleared of land mines before mission start 🤣Comment

T-90 finished in time for Sunday's battle. It'll get more dust on it there!
longest barreled tank I own. Definitely would be awkward at the L.A. battleground.

I actually like Panzer Grau, but realize that the vast majority were in DAK yellow. If your IR battling, your camo is pretty stealth.Don't just fly--WREAK HAVOC!!!Comment

I was stationed in Berlin with the 6-502 INF (1991-1993) and it was the best duty station throughout my military career.

Thanks. I lived in Germany for 6 years and wish I had stayed there. I love Deutschland!
I see the crew has answered the abbreviations. As far as building materials. I am learning as I go. Primarily coroplast.

It hoids up to paint and hot Florida sun pretty well, Recently I have been working with an insulation foam board. Known as XPS. You can etch the design into it. Paint with a mix of acrylic paint and Hodge Podge glue. It too is holding up to weather.

Some glues will work. Or make a small frame from cheap trim wood. I am still working on the magic combo of materials. The up side is my backyard has its own village for tanks.[/QUOTE]

Now look what the slow boat from China has brought.
=== Question ===
I ordered the plastic version with a separate set of steel gear boxes.
Opened it up to check, see pic below.
Aren't these installed, completely covered, gear boxes steel geared as well???

The covers are standard now regardless of gearbox type. They are largely a waist and have no real effect on longevity.Originally posted by cpt.chaos canada View PostNow look what the slow boat from China has brought.

Simply pop the covers off and take a look. If they plastic replace them if steel then leave them.
FYI if they look like metal use a magnet to confirm they are steel not zinc. HL tanks directly ordered from China have a history of coming with old stock zinc gear claiming them a steel.

I ordered it from RC Toucan.
It showed in stock at the US Whse. but that wasn't true.
Had a good email support to figure out how to get that KV1.
Because I "NEEDED" one!

Rubicon, Good looking tank. I support the claim that you needed one!Comment

If a magnet sticks to the gears they are steel...if not...pot metal.Comment
