Official Heng Long 1/16 Scale Soviet Union KV-2 Heavy Tank Discussion Thread

for anyone wanting ideas of how to fix the smoke plumbing in their KV-series from Heng Long, here's how I did it.

Step 1: Drill out the exhausts with a 3/16 bit. Gotta be careful not to through-hole them, you'll be trying to make one hole hit another at a roughly 90 degree angle. You can buy aftermarket exhaust tips but this is much easier and quicker to sort out.

Step 2: Get some tubing handy. I used some copper fuel tubing and medium fuel line from my nitro RC pit box.

Step 3: A Y-pipe is nice. I've tried running off both smoker ports but it was wonky as. Sometimes it'd only smoke out one side, sometimes it'd smoke unevenly. Capped one port off, made a Y-pipe out of hollow 3/16" OD styrene tubing instead.

Step 4: Arrange as seen in the photo!
