One of my electrics needs re stringing so that's what I'll use. Thanks, I'd for gotten about that.

I built the Tamiya Easy Eight but something went wrong and it came out like this!

I think they put the gun on wrongly.

They stole Carlos engine from the Patton tank he’s detailing... :whistle: :giggles:

Man, does that look good jeaton... Is it a conversion or complete kit?

I don't have a kittie at the moment so I'll stick with guitar strings i think.

Brilliant work on your first armor model. Like Carlos said, you got awesome results considerably sooner than I did. I still keep trying to get those kind of results. Way to go man!

John, I wonder where you went wrong on your Easy Eight? I can't see it! :bag:
