I havent...I keep toying with it but not sure if the Mato hull would look right. Plus theyre getting harder to get hold of, so risking wasting one if it goes wrong.....

Now this is the tank that someone needed to mass produce. You are a factory Frank, but I doubt you could produce these at a rate that would satisfy the hobby. You are probably having fun trying though

Are you making your own 3 piece transmission covers or are you using what Woz is printing?.

Cheers

It's nice to see young Fyn hasn't lost his touch, but I still think you work the poor lad too hard.
