Haven't put it up for desgination yet. I want to finish it first before I post any pics. It is about 95% completed, having trouble with turret rotation, have find out the problem is a faulty servo, so just have to get another one this week when I have time to get to the local hobby shop. They close at 6 and I get off at 5, but have to pick up my son from daycare so not enough time to get there. Expect to be finished next week. Stay tuned. Oh it's a T-43/85. Greg
