Progress update photos.
Now fully functional and IR system tested its time to head to paint and detailing. Shown in photo installed on the tank turret is a Tamiya IR receiver. For those that do not known, yes it is removable.
New test videos are now up on my Instagram @ fsttanks
Note: The rear lower hull exhaust deflector and tow bar where not installed. I deemed them a liability to my style of hard use. They would have just been ripped off or broken in short order. Also since I plan on converting the tank to a later engine design (when kits become available) they would need to be removed then anyways. Lastly I removed the front fender extension “splash/mud” guards. No real reason other then I like the look of more track showing.
