:( Hello, Sorry for the neck brace, nothing in my possession, for the meaning of the photos? also, for me go in the right direction, I check that everything is OK before posting ??? Good day everyone
:D It wasn't your photos 90deg off the vertical, Jofaur, but rather those posted by Cshaffer. Yours don't require a neck-brace! :D Pas de soucis...

One thing you will gather if you spend time here, is that nearly everyone begins by thinking they only need one or two tanks. Then after a while, one more and then another.

If you sell all but two tanks, I think you will live to regret it. One day you will look back and find it more costly to get back those tanks you let go and subsequently desire. My advice is to see if you can keep five or six - one of each, especially the Hummel. Put them on a high shelf in the garage. If you hang around here long enough, people can advise you how to get them running with modern RC gear later on.
