Hello, I'm Michel from France I'm 42 years old. I mostly play with rc cars (for more than 20 years now), but I also like rc warbirds and more recently Rc tanks.
I don't really like RTRs, so I began with a Torro Tiger 1 kit, with Tk22 and Benedini mini Tbs, then I restored an old 56004 Tamiya King Tiger from 1981(the old version with one motor and dual clutch).
Here they are.
And now I'm building a Jagdtiger based on a cheapo plastic Henglong King Tiger. I'll start new post in the right section to show you those tanks.

Re: Hello from France
Bonsoir Mon Ami
You certainly have got off to a roaring start.
That Jagdtiger is impressive, a long way from a humble King Tiger to a full blown Jagd and I commend you for it.
Please feel encouraged to post and ask anything you like, though it may be already addressed by those that hang here, it is new for you.
Also, please take the time to check into the clubs long history of builds. There are many ideas, and plenty of useful lessons that have been made by others before, that can help a guy out.
Good to have you along mate, quality machines you have there.

Re: Hello from France
Hello and welcome! Good looking fleet you have started there and am I to understand that you are building a Jagdtiger from an old King Tiger?
Re: Hello from France
Thank you all, very helpfull forum that allready provided me very good advice for my IBU2.
I'm building a Jagdtiger from a Henglong (Torro) Henschel King Tiger. It was new and has never run: cut in in three parts right out of the box.jackalope wrote:Hello and welcome!

Re: Hello from France
Wow that is truly impressive you're build your own JT from a KT! Will you be stretching the lower hull to get the correct idler wheel spacing? I mean honestly with what you've done it's already impressive.
Re: Hello from France
I'll start a new post about the Jagdtiger in the Henglong section soon.
