thanks soooo much for your help! you guys really know your stuff. i think, i'll just cut out the '8' to make it '381'. hehe
i doubt i'll be doing any painting on my Tiger. Reasons: i don't have the equipments (eg. air brush) nor the skill. A pity really....
However, i managed install a wireless cam inside the commander's hatch! it was a real cheap one for only 60 singaporean dollars. i cut away the plastic base, where the commander figure is supposed the sit, in order to slide the 9V battery inside the turrent. The amazing thing is that i managed to do this with my basic tools i've found in the house and without actually taking the whole Tiger apart.
