Steve & Carl I'll post up a review in the relevant thread but I can only say it's the best play, myself or my familly have ever seen!!!!!!
Back to the Tiger and I have been busy again.
First off I have made the basic fasteners that hold the rear of the tow cable down, I will finish them off with the wing bolts and sleeves once the tow cable is fixed before painting.
So I needed to tackle the wheels. When i purchased them I was told they did not fit the original Heng Long hull, and although I stated this was a static model, the answer cam back the same and they stated it would have to be seriously modified.
So with a lot of measuring, thinking and planning, I cracked on with it today and have broken the back of it.
I had to remove the old suspension arms, as they were simply in the way and would not let me have a nice flat ruler.
Once I had measured it all up, i increased the width of the holes and made my own mini axles to fit the pins of the metal wheels.
It took loads of test fitting to make sure the wheels were aligned. Once satisfied with this I test fitted the track to double check that it was in exactly the right place.
Finally i put on the upper hull to ensure the edge of the track sat just inside the front fender (marked in red)
I have now glued all the axles with epoxy, I'll await this to go off, test fit track & wheels again and then I will fix the lower and upper hull to finish the zimmerit.
I will then take off the wheels, remove the tyres and spray with a good primer.......phew!!!!
