Cant believe the reissue is 25 years old now......I was 7 when the original kit was new, I was lucky enough to find a nice original to restore, I stalled out finishing it when I decided to add a servo to as animate the drivers head with the steering.....this video got me in the mood to work on it again and fix some of the issues it has.......fhanks for the video!Your WW2 looks really great!

Thanks a ton buddy. Happy New Year .

Glad you were able to get it all fixed up and it is looking good! These are a blast to drive and are quick to make smiles happen! Definitely a more fun one out in the grass where the risk of nasty scrapes and scratches are reduced! Great one to end the year off with! Happy New Year and wishing you all the best in 2024!
