    Crews for the Heng Long T-90 and Challenger

    Hi all,

    I have the Torro crews for the T-90 and they do not fit. Looks like I have to cut off the trunks and reposition the arms. Does anyone have the crews in these 2 tanks that I can look at? Dai

    Since you're a modeler, you know bashing a figure is standard practice. Here are two tank crew figures, both 3D printed, one by a friend of mine, one bought on AliExpress. You can see that hands aren't positioned precisely, and one had his arms repositioned. Gotta cut 'em sometimes!

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

      I thought since Torro is deluxe HL version, the crews would fit. But not really. I can remove part of the trunk and reposition the arms easily. Dai

        Hello,

        I remove part of the trunk and reposition the arms. Filled in with putty and repainted. I reposition the crew in a way that there is room for IR and BB loading. I use hot glue gun to attach the guy. Likely I have to glue again in a month because hot glue does not last long. The Torro Leopard crews were a little short to reach the floor so I glue them via their arms. Dai

        PS: Still looking for the Challenger crew.
