:) Thanks!

   The landing gear is quite clever; just looking at the first couple pics, it doesn’t even seem like it’s there. How is the tail rotor held on? Is there a half-pin in the arch, or is it just jammed in there? And the minigun solution is simple, but very effective.

It’s held in by a half pin, which means that it stays on well enough unless someone knocks against the tail.

   I’m looking forward to your next vehicle. How about an EFV?

It would be cool to build something like that, it would allow me to build an armored vehicle a littl ebiigger than usual. It’s fun to branch out into aircraft (I have a few more ideas) nd I want to use a few boat hulls for some smallish ships as well, but I’m sure I’ll get back to tanks and AFVs at some point.

cheers

Magnus
