    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!!!

            After I posted the above, I decided the tank traps were out of place. So I had them removed.

                I need metal tracks (preferd) or plastic tracks for a 1/16 scale RC RTR German Wespe based on the Panzer II Chasis. Would appreciate any information on where to purchase.

                  You should start a separate topic for your question. But to answer, there are no RTR Pz II tracks out there except for the Pz II L, which is completely different.

                    Just a babe in the woods trying to navigate hobby Squak. Appreciate all the help I can get. Please excuse my ignorance of how to ask a question. I thought this was a site that one could seek help without feeling judged or talked down to. At 76 and having run an incredibly successful Excavation Company for 54 years of my life. I don't really appreciate being talked down to.

                      I'm 80 and like you I just joined also but I do have a few more posts under my belt. Being a career soldier I was taught when you enter into a new area of operation one should navigate the terrain with prior knowledge so not to go down the wrong path. My teachers were correct, I'm still alive grasshopper.

                        If you are referring to me, there's no "talking down" involved. I'm simply stating the preferred way we do things. And, you also got an answer to your question.
