It took a lot of watching for an ASIATAM METAL HULL to become available but I finally got one,
Just five days from ordering to delivery,
DO NOT start your build before doing a complete dry run,
The hull needs fettling. almost every predrilled hole was too small and needed opening out and some holes just had not gone right through,
The instructions come on a CD and it is a very poor quality display.
I downloaded "TAMIYAS" PANZER 4 PDF and you can see that apart from the suspension which is different almost everything else is the same and it is the TAMIYA Drawings I refer to now.
A supply of nuts and screws are supplied but I find that most of the ones I am using are from my own sources,
And a "ROLSON TAP & DIE SET" has come in very handy.
If it sounds like I am giving it a hard time that would be a misconception, it is a nice piece of engineering that comes with all of the basic fixtures needed for a hull, although no wheels or rollers or sprockets or idlers or gearboxes,
But the suspension and track tensioners are included ( I discarded them for some meatier ones)
Shaun.
