I don't like it. [&o]

By the time the tank had arrived, I was pretty much in the dumps from all of the negative information I had read, and the model did not make me feel any better. It is the same physical size as a 1:24 Abrams, so the plastic after market tracks for that tank fit the Walker Bulldog well (supplied tracks are a joke), but that is the only positive thing that I can say about this tank. [:-]

It was a simple build, althought there were pictures only (I kind of like to read the instructions, myself). The road wheels are made to pivot like an RC tank, but it had no springs so they just set flat on the table.....I'm not wasting money on springs trying to find some that will work.

The seams where the pieces come together look pretty bad, so I filled them, but it still feels like a waste of time. I broke several pieces trying to get it together and now I am disgusted with the whole thing. [:@] Needles to say, I would not recommend this tank to anyone for any reason.......no wonder it was discontinued. [sm=tired.gif]

On top of all of the other frustration, I ran out of the good paint and switched to another kind. MISTAKE!!! Now it is oily, too.

I'll talk more later, I'm going to find the hammer.
