discussion 1/16 RC ZTZ 99.

[eddiesolo]

Finally finished my RC ZTZ 99, a homegrown Chinese third generation MBT.

It was stock when I got and had a few pieces missing so, accessory pack ordered from...China, only place I could get one from.

I repainted and added the missing bits, I also added a turret NBC filter to the rear, some bendable mud flaps, a couple of turret detail items and some decals.

Inside, I replaced the gearboxes with 4.1 steel gearboxes, metal sprockets, idlers and tracks.

I also had to add 65 grams of lead to the front end as the added weight at the rear made the nose a tad skittish.

So here she is, goes well with the clubs members Chally 2. Abrams and Leo.

Hi Ian, thank you mate, glad you like her. I saw a tank in a similar scheme, it was a urban style. I was contemplating doing the digital camo like this one shown but, I couldn't be bothered lol.

Great work on the camo Si. A lot of masking off I take it:smiling2:. Some lovely detailing all over. You must be very pleased

Cheers Steve, yeah she came out okay. Main problem is that with all the new metal work the front end is skittish so 65g of lead added
