Default metal hull tiger I

well, just got my metal hull from RCcommand.
time to remodel my tank again..
it came assembles already.. 1st thing i noticed atfr putting all the wheel ect.. the idler is too high.. so what i did is i adjusted the rear suspension..
right now i dont see any bad side of the metal hull...
well, if you guys are using RX-18 better have double sided tape cuZ the plstic mount for the boards is for rx-14 or the old version.. if you have a opening hatch for the hull gunner and driver you dont have to wrry about glueng your power switch cuz the hull itself has the mount for the power switch on the hull gunner side..
what i like about this hull is that it is very stable and the tract tensioner rocks! hehehee

heres some pics..
started t paint my upper hull and the metal hull... hand paint for i do much better in hand paint done airbrush...
still have to finish the turret... i only applied 1st layer of paint.. tomorrow will be te 2nd layer...

Chinito nice job there, question for you, do you use an airbrush or just a regular paint brush for your paint jobs?

It's good to see that Tankzone isn't the only place selling these now.
