I recently was given a Tamiya Panther A. Unfortunatly it appears that the model was originally designed to be RC capable. Does anyone know of a link that might cover this, I can't be the first person to run across this issue! Or can I!

Most of the Early Tamiya kits were meant to be R/C capable Lots of filling with sheet stock & Putty!!

I would fill in the holes, sand off the wedges on the idler wheel, and then I would scrap the kit all-together. It is generally known to be the worst kit ever devised, in terms of detail. I even heard somewhere it had the wrong number of roadwheels!
