Although I have not been on much ( I do pop in and look though) I have been slowly working on stuff when my disability allows.

So, this was done a while ago to go with my 1/16 tanks.

You can by the kit version or a ready to run with awful 2.4 ghz controls (basically toy controls) but for £30 or so what do you expect.

So, was totally stripped down and repainted, inside and out and then weathered, cab painted inside and glass added, additional items added-decals etc and the rear was wooded and benches added. The electrics ripped out and replaced underneath with speed-controller, receiver, steering servo etc and is now on proportional 2.4. The suspension needs sorting as it bounces too much and the drive shafts need strengthening but that is something I can do later.

You have certainly been busy Si. Thanks for sharing

I have not posted in ages, my disability flares up and so modelling is on hold for periods of time, also I do not post much now, although I do pop on and look at old and new members outstanding work.
I mainly do larger scale. 1/16 RC tanks my dodgy hands can handle them better.

This, and other models I have posted, have been done over a few months and I thought I would share.

Glad you like it, it has actually had a few more details added since these pictures, must get some new piccies taken and up.
 
A bargain at that price. Great job pimping it up.

Thanks Ian, will get some new piccies up of the other attachments. As you say for that price it is worth it even if you just have as a static.
