Hi and greetings from Norway!

Post by Fedda75 »

Hi all!
My name is Fredrik and I have always been into big tanks, have several Heng Long Tanks now and a vintage Tamiya Leopard 1 I bought and built while serving in the army eons ago.
My main interest lies within Soviet and Warsaw Pact military vehicles and gear.

Hello: you certainly are welcome! What tanks do you have (besides the Leopard 1)? Do you have any plans for them? Of course, we love photos. Welcome to the fun; ask questions and provide help and support when you can. :wave:

Hullo. Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum, from the West Coast of Scotland. I also have a vintage Tamiya Leopard 1. I just need to decide whether to modernise it or keep it original. My T72 will be the subject for my winter build.

Hi and thank you for all the warm greetings. I got a Heng Long Tiger 1, T-72 and a T-90. I tried to attach a couples of pics of my recent acquisition, a T-90 tank painted in Ukrainian colours. Hope you all like it. It is a beautiful model, but I have a serious issue with the speaker which needs replacing, I will soon submit a question regarding that on this forum.

I am rather ignorant about tanks after WWII. Your "T-90 tank painted in Ukrainian colours" seems to me to be in the Russian base color, but there must be a difference. Can you point out the differences or lead me to a source from which I could learn?

the yellow painted ERA on the turret roof, the yellow band on the fume evacuator and there will be other similar yellow I.D. marks too.
