Hi guys, finished my RC 1/16 Challenger 2.
Total strip down, with steel gearboxes, sprockets with trap anti-slip inducers, metal idlers and tracks.
Rewire to make the rear lights as brake lights.
Total repaint in Nato green with a slight weathering, decals and stencils used.
Scratch made drivers port, scratch made rear anti-bump probe, made new aerial mounts, new MG swivel made, covers made for barrels, coaxial chain gun has a new mounting, bit of work to finish that off when I find something suitable. rear lights painted in Tamiya clear, Dichrome film used to simulate the anti-glare and anti-lazer coatings on the vision blocks. Warning flashing amber light on turret works from the transmitter, disabled the smoke unit-never bother with them as the are drain on the battery, burn out and coat your tank innards in smoke oil so, that switch no operates that.
Had her out for a test run today and all seems okay.
There will be a flash unit fitted into the barrel when I get around it.
