Oops, my bad. Apologies for the late start.
Had another busy couple of weeks.
Anyway, enough excuses.

Hello TOTM fans, it's that time again, it seems to come around so quickly.

I'll start! Takom 1/16 scale Renault FT static plastic model converted to radio control. Details in my "Renault on a Budget" thread. Heng Long 1:30 motor and electronics. In lieu of turret rotation, I chose to detail the crew compartment. Crew and engine hatches made to open.

No headlight on this tank, so I placed a light inside instead.

Hello to all,

this is my actual submission : the Marder !

The original Marder is the first pre-series edition, approx 1978 and it was the vehicle of my active army time. So I have a special relation to this model.
This was my first scratch model. The lower hull is aluminium sheet, gearbox Tamiya Sherman, tracks & suspension Leopard 2 and powered by Beier electronics USM-RC.
