How to disassemble 1/16 Merit and WSN Tiger I tank
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 3:03 pm
I found some information around the internet that helped me disassemble my Merit Tiger I. This information can also be used for the Trumpeter/WSN/Torro versions from what it looks like as all are the same mold. The only thing I have yet to figure out is how to remove the road wheels from the suspension arms. The gun mantlet can be broken down even more than I have shown I just didn't go that far yet.
Hope this helps for anyone wanting to take any of these kits apart.
Location of the 3 screws holding the hull together.
A small amount of glue holds each cap in place, the front one was a little harder to remove
Inside of the hull
Screw on inside for sprocket and one on the outside.
Turret ring screws, base of the turret is held on by 5 screws
complete disassembly
Periscopes for the driver and radio op hatch but they are on backwards and glued
