    I added the 3DP searchlight from East Coast Armory on my NF Model painted in Israeli colors, and asked ChatGPT to add a nighttime battle background.

    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

      Bob, everyone should have one. Maybe the So Cal group needs a couple of platoons of them!!! BTW, what tank is it, and what country used them?
      The Bugeye lights make me think of the Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. My Dad had many different British sports car when I was young. He'd buy them damaged, and fix them up and sell them. Here's a 5 minute video.

        Nice cars. Both my cousin and a coworker had Austin Healey's, back in the 60's-70's.

        The tank is a Soviet T-26, pre and early WW2. Many countries used them. Mine has Spanish Civil War (red/yellow/red) markings, as they were used extensively there. A lot of tank experience was developed at that war. The tank is 100% 3DP, so I wouldn't use it in outdoor tank battles. I wouldn't be able to get replacements if anything broke.

        . The T-26 had many variants. This would have been my real favorite, with twin mg turrets, but nobody makes one in 1/16.

          Bob, thanks for the info on that pre WW-II light Russian tank. Many light tanks were developed before WW-II. Many didn't get into combat. Even though the T-26 didn't have the twin Buglights as standard equipment, I think it looks much better with them!!!
