I’ve been in various r/c hobbies for many years, including tanks, off and on. Many of my fellow r/c’ers had no knowledge of this tank hobby. For them, and anyone new here, I’m starting a thread about my experiences with a new Heng Long T-72. My posts are meant for a new modeler, not the veteran hobbyist. The forum sticky threads are extremely valuable, read them first.
So my T-72 arrived yesterday. Attached is a photo of the bare bones body as it comes out of the box. I did the 2-minute test as recommended by the forum moderators. Now I have to decide the steps and sequences to assemble, paint and weather it.
Each tank is unique, so Do I paint first, or assemble it? In this case, my first step is to attach the separate detail parts. I want to keep in mind the possibility that some parts might need painting first.
I’m not in a hurry to finish this project, so there may be intervals of no activity. Others are welcome to chime in any time!
