I just found out that I will be getting my first R/C tank; a Tamiya Leo2 full option. I am new to R/C but not to modelling. I built tons of models when I was a kid, but haven't done any in well over 15 years.

Any tips on assembly, accessories, painting, and the like would be appreciated. I have scoured this forum and learned that I will need more ceramic grease, lots of paint/primer, and the like.

I am thinking about gettting the gun stabilizer also. Is this necessary?

Thanks!
