        • New board installed in the Challenger.

          Upgraded to a new TK7.1 at the same time. Impressed with the new auto load setting.

          • Finally, mostly finished my T26E3 Pershing tank. Still have to burnish the metal tracks. Burnishing fluid has been ordered. Made a few modifications to my model; like drilling out the 50 cal. turret gun barrel, drilled out the shell door hinge pin, drilled out the two engine pull pieces on the side of the turret, added a central wall to the side turret storage bin and tie-off handles, added the horn to the right fender even though the kit didn't come with one. Added straps to the back where the med kit and extra fuel can are; and added ropes to the side of the side storage bins because how else are you going to keep the extra storage cans on the side of those bins. Plus, I repainted the entire tank. Used one color for the tank and a little darker color for the engine doors, to simulate oil, grease and exhaust weathering. Pretty happy with how it came out for my first R/C tank model

                              That is proper cool. But I have noticed you have the incorrect bolts on the phaser. They should be 15mm stainless, or they will melt before the contra-rotating thrupple generator starts to cool the barrel.
                              Absolutely fantastic Bob.

                                  Metal's not metal unless it rusts, right? Notice I took my pictures on a rainy day especially for you. I didn't want you to be dazzled by that fire circle in the sky. Cheers!

                                    Thanks! I am afraid I am going to screw up the weathering. I already ordered a new hull and upper turret from my first attempt. Clear coats turned out whitish, and the tamiya paints did not match the original.

                                      Looks cool. You should install a burning laser and pop balloons with it.
