Hello Ben, No the tank has a fully revolving turret like the other models, Yes shame things do cost money dont they unfortunately, I dont have any spare parts to assist you either, it was just that I was thinking you could have used the Bulldogs front covers and Barrel but used the G workings anyhow good luck with it, I found out as this Panther G is the first IR tank I have, that it looks very effective with the barrel recoiling and the big flash at the end of the barrel looks great too.
Wish I could help out more mate Sorry, if I think of anything will let you know, perhaps some of the boys out there might have some advice or a spare setup they can sell cheap or dont use.

Sorry bout that didnt think they went through. these are just a couple out of the collection. The Bulldog tank is featured in a book of short stories about a tank called Blue Suede Shoes and her crew of 3. The Tank you see is called in the book Tiger 10 and is another Tank in the Squadron with Blue Suede Shoes.
Book is being published now in New York and waiting book cover designs to be sent to me now, I didnt like the first couple they sent me.
The Sherman is one that Helped the British at Normandy in 1944 hence the Union Jack.

This is my first attempt at rc tanks, still working on the paint job, I'm enjoying the change while it's too cold to sail.

Excellent paint job, what did you use for the very realistic snow effects??

Brain creaks into gear...

Some of these tanks are 1/8th scale!!! Any chance of a url (since I can't find any) to figures at this scale?!

Many thanks,

Well fellow tankies am a very happy chappie,
Found some Tank Crew Figures of a Late German Tank Crew for the Leopard Tank pictured above.
I have been looking for a while and found that yes, Tamiya have a Tank Crew in 1/16 with one figure and one half bust designed to suite the Leopard. WOOPEE another project I can get finished.
Figures are unpainted but that makes it more the challenge to do a good job does'nt it?
Ok be good out there and lets see a few more hits into the forum Lads and Ladies, do we have any Lady Tankies?

Cheers
Chris :-))

I was sitting here looking at my fleet of tiger 1 tanks, when I thought that I should like to add Metal Upgrade Parts to one Tiger 1 to make it a really classy tank.
This is what annoys me the most about how much some people just seem to think we play with our toys.
So I thought I would show you all just how much the cost is going to be for my Tiger 1 upgrade.
Firstly,  the sourcing and the costings of the Metal Upgrade Parts I require (this is a personal choice).
Secondly,  the time and patience which we all need, to put it all into place. (the build).
Thirdly,  the painting and the extras to add that final touch of realism to make the Tiger 1 an Exceptional Beastie.
So lets take it away.
All parts are designed to fit the Henglong Tiger 1.  All prices in Australian Dollars.
So Initial buy of Remote Control Tank 175.00 plus postage
Tiger Tank Metal Hull Upgrade Set.     140.00
Tiger Tank Metal Extra Tuff Springs for better handling     14.00
Tiger Tank Metal Suspension Arm Upgrade Set.     20.00
Tiger Tank Henglong Brass Gearbox 3:1 Ratio Upgrade   100.00
Tiger Tank Metal Track and Wheel Driver Upgrade.     100.00
Tiger Tank Metal Grills Set.     10.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Tiger Launchers.     17.00
Tiger Tank Heng Long Ammo Box with Shells Highly Detailed.     19.00
Tiger Tank Front and Rear Shackles Hooks Set Metal Upgrade.     10.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Exhaust Cans and Tops.     19.00
Tiger Tank. Metal Upgrade Headlights.     10.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Mud Flaps.    15.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Tank Jack.     12.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Tool Box.     10.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Turret Air Intake.     10.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Turret Side Hatch.     13.00
Tiger Tank Metal Detail Tool Set.     20.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Tow Cables.     11.00
Tiger Tank Metal Road wheel Set with Rubbers Upgrade Set.     100.00
Tiger Tank 1 Zimmerit Kit.     35.00
Tiger Tank Spring Loaded Cupola MG42 with mount Metal Upgrade.     30.00
Tiger Tank Metal Upgrade Suspension Mount Bars.     35.00
Tiger Tank Decal Sticker Sheet.     6.00
Tiger Tank Metal Suspension Arm Set.     20.00

So, so far that is my finished parts listing, well over the 700.00 dollar mark. Accessories such as Crew, Flags if I want them and other bits and pieces probably approx 150.00
Now with the Original tank costing me 175.00 plus all that I have quoted I am now looking at over 1000,00 Aussie bucks to create my TOY so they call it. I think it's more than a Toy, don't you.  Now some will say, is it all worthwhile mate?   Sure it is, Would any of you pay me over a 1000.00 to make one for you? I bet you would'nt but then that's Modelling  I guess, if you want the best I guess you do it yourself or go and pay for it already done these days.
I would love to hear some comments about this and look forward to receiving some.
Cheers
Chris :-))
