Your Model is how you want it to be and from my point of view you did an excellent job.

[@davepriddy9263]

Is this the 1/35th scale version of the Challenger II TES "Megatron" tank? Great and very informative video.

[@samargrewal929]

nice :)

[@fabiosilva3799]

Very good! Please...1/48 Kinetic Mirage IIIE

[@stevencanale5391]

Great video. Where did you get the rc parts for the tank..?

[@abcmodeling]

Purchased online through the website Taobao. You should be able to find similar parts on Amazon. Cheers!

[@Emtbtoday]

You'd be surprised at how chipped the chally gets! All a silver chippingfornthe chabome armour I've noticed aswell watching the real thing in training vids etc on here I'm building the Scots Dragoon one just now I'm normally ww2 armour but have all those modern armour kits in stash I'll start Tes next but wanting to do this one with a British and Ukraine 🇺🇦 flying from it or have it someway with a Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag I've got the camo info for the ones heading to Poland just now think they sent 23 chally 2s last week!

[@abcmodeling]

Thanks for the tip. Looks like you've got quite the project ahead of you. Good luck and do send me an update after you've finished. Cheers!

[@xclonejager6959]

Note about the challenger and paint chipping, They chip to all high hell in real life due to all sorts of wear, don’t think there’s a single operational tank that isn’t covered with bits of paint missing like a bad acne teenager

[@abcmodeling]

I would expect modern paint jobs to be quite resilient even in active combat, but this is great to know! I'd love to see one up close some day.

[@davepriddy9263]

What brand and type of receiver board and transmitter radio did you use, and where did you purchase them? Any help or information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Also, what did you use to make the turret rotation details?

[@bobz1736]

Enjoyed your vid. I've recently bought the Tamiya desertised version. Music is a bit loud compared to your narration 😉

[@abcmodeling]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@simonperks3935]

Great. Video Can you put a link as to what you used to make it RC That’s the iceing on the cake. Would love to make my 1/35 RC rather than my 1/16

[@abcmodeling]

I purchased a Tamiya Twin Motor Gearbox 70097 for around US$6.5, and an 8 channel RC receiver and controller kit for around US$6 online in Hong Kong. However, I am unable to find these products for a reasonable price in US or European markets. You'll should be able to find some deals in your local RC car shop.

Hello. How much do you thin ammo paints?(for airbrush)

[@ulungprabowo]

I am planning on buying this and convert it to RC. But I am not sure on how do you remove the gearbox when you need servicing? my previous rc converted model kit has a path so the gearbox shaft can get in and out easily.

[@abcmodeling]

The gearbox is basically not meant to be serviced outside the model. That's why I used a high quality Tamiya one that I know will last a while. If I really need to take it out, the sprocket's shaft can slide out and the gearbox will be freed. I do recommend you to hot glue the gearbox in place so as to reduce vibration though. Good luck on your project.

[@ulungprabowo]

@@abcmodeling sorry for late reply. Thank you! I built another model and succeed, you can check my video

[@익명-m3b9f]

How long is the width of the 'long build process'? 2:56

[@abcmodeling]

I believe it was around 3 months of assembling and also implementing the electronics into the tank. That was all during school days so it took so long. Constantly cutting, sanding and gluing does get tedious. It has cost me MANY hours. But now I think it's worth it ;)

[@黃冠堯-f2q]

問一下這個搖控器要在那裡買的到呢

[@ligmaman9mm709]

“I read every single comment” prove it build a 1/1 scale airfix b52

[@abcmodeling]

That's going to be a tough challenge. But not impossible!

[@ligmaman9mm709]

[@Serenityindailylife]

You may want to try some preshading, your painting style is VERY heavy. Presiding and very thin paint at low pressure will help your model seem more realistic. You will find you won't need such a heavy hand with weathering. Right now it seems you weather to highlight. That's how a lot of people paint in the beginning. I have taught hundreds of disabled Veterans how to build, paint and weather. I can help you if you would like.

[@abcmodeling]

Thank you for the advice! I'll look into the method you described and see how it goes.

[@黃冠堯-f2q]

請問一下這個搖控的電路板跟搖控器在那裡買的到呢！

[@abcmodeling]

If you're living in or around China, try Taobao. Search "6通道接收器" for something similar. Cheers!

[@scottlaw9868]

Good job, good video apart from the music spoilt it so much I watched what I could stand of it in silent. You were so quiet and the music was so loud it just didn't work. Loved the model tho.

[@abcmodeling]

Thanks for the feedback! I do have to agree, that is an issue that will be fixed in the coming video.
