Default Save from the Scrap Pile

I recently acquired this HL 1/16 Bulldog from a kid on CL for $30. It was trashed to say the least. If it was not for the metal tracks,gears and sprockets, I would have passed it up. Every thing you could think of on this tank was either missing or broke off. The muzzel was broke off 3" exposing only the aluminum tube (now how in the hell do you do that?) the main hatch was missing,headlight guard (1) was gone,all the grab handles except for maybe 1 were missing, mg gone,comannder gone,all lift hooks gone,pioneer rack with all tools gone,jerry cans missing,1 tailight bezel missing, hitch broke off...like I said ... Now I just decided I would give it a shot and try to rebuild the damage and mind you...its not totally acurate so dont blast me with all the comments but I think I saved it from the spare parts bin. Everything has been built from scratch except for the commander. Surprisingly enough the tanks runs really well and all works but the smoker (big deal huh) I just put the finishing touches on the paint. Not a bad investment for $30 and some time.
