Hey all,

I plan on magnetising my LRBTs when I get them and I was wondering, is the turret in the standard russ kit the same as the turret in the demolisher kit? I was thinking I could buy one of each kit and magnetise so I can run any combination of tanks. Is this do-able?

There are 2 kits. The first is the LRMBT, Vanquisher, Eradicator and Exterminator. The second is the Punisher, Demolisher and Executioner

I know, but are the turrets in the two kits the same? So could I buy one of each kit but still field a demolisher and an executioner by magnetising the turret weapons?

Nope, both turrets have different looking slots to put the weapons inside. You have to dedicate some serious work time into this if you´d want to swap between both kits. On the other hand every kit can use its weaponry with minimal magnetizing.

Actually the gun mantlet fitting is the same for both, so by cutting off the rotation tabs and replacing them with magnets (Ø3mmx2mm magnets fit perfectly) you can swap between them. Unfortunately the mantlet and turret face are different, so the swap doesn't work very well.

Additionally the demolisher pattern uses a common mantlet with three different barrels, so its easier to magnetise it at that one point
