Tank topper questions


Recommended Posts

I have a few questions regarding the tank topper & I haven't had much lunch finding what I'm looking for. Hopefully somebody can steer me in the right direction.

 

First question is when painting the topper, is it flat, satin, or gloss black?

 

Second question is specifically about the topper that came with my SC kit. I was looking at reference pics and I noticed a difference between my topper and the others.

As you can see in the above picture, the knob circled in yellow is to the left and the open space is to the right. In the picture below (the SC topper) the knob is to the right and the open space is to the left.

Is this topper acceptable for Lancer standards? If not, can anyone point me to where I can get a replacment?

Thanks again for the help!

I can't comment on your Lancer-related questions, but if you end up looking for a replacement tank topper, Darth Voorhees makes an awesome rubber one, which means the little vertical fins don't break off.

If you look closely at your reference pick youll see SC modified their topper. The wgite circle uses yo be a decal. Its now molded as a hole. The "button" is now molded in olace, whereas it uses to be a separate piece you placed in the slot.

I did notice the hole was drilled through instead of making you paint the white circle. Wasn't sure if that was approvable for Lancer or not.

As far as the "button" mine is on the opposite side of the slot from the reference pictures I have seen. Didn't know if that was going to be an issue or not. Figured I'd find out BEFORE I glue it in place ;)
