The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hi There

I have just had my mid tiger back from Ritchie's following a full re-wire and one of Ritchie's smokers and Bendini sound card fitted.
He has done a great job.. really neat and tidy and more user friendly, I have attached photo's of before and after so you can see the difference that this has made!
I started by pulling all the electrics out then cleaning all the debris and rust damage that the cordite had done over time.. got rid of all the rust then coated with smooth hamerite, it came up really well, it's hard to see the full effect, so please excuse my photography.

The next job is to remove all the wheels, re-paint the undersides/sides then do a full service to include new wheel and idler bearings, new gearing and then re-paint before reassembly.. so plenty of work over the winter!!

thanks again Ritchie..

Regards Tony.

I think that I have yet to figure this out right.. anyway I have put the photo's on, but will try to put them on one post next time!!

Hi Tony

Looks good very tidy.

Grease nipples on the suspension arm bushes.......... cool!

Hi John

I am pleased with it now, perhaps I should have used red so that all the electrics stood out better, but as Henry Ford said.. "You can have any colour you like as long as it's black!"!

Regards Tony

Hi Phil

I had not given the grease nipples much thought, it's only after I looked on the other forum posts that I realised that they do not have the same set up now.. how things change..

Regards Tony.

Excellent idea make sure that you use them! Cheers Phil
