Yet another new member

I am Jay from Portsmouth in Darkest Hampshire in the UK. Been into RC tanks since the cheap Heng Longs came out - I am a member of the Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team and one of the shows we do involves several 1/16 tanks, some landing craft, a French village and numerous pyro charges.
Collection of Heng Long stuff: a much abused Sherman with a Clark TK22 board, a Jagdpanther rather tastefully painted by a club mate, a box of bits that will hopefully become a Stug IV and a PzIV recovery.
Plus the current project of a Heng Long Tiger 1 with additional detailing parts from the Hobby Boss Tiger 1 kit. Well that is if I can work out the connections as it is one of the version 5.3 boards units so I have an extra connector from the switch in the turret !

You too old for her then. . . .

Welcome to the forum Mr Zed750Jay.

Yet another bloke with an enviable LCM

Mick

And those LCM's are over 35 years old! The club made several and eventually one got into the hands of a kit maker (think it was Deans Marine) and so most that you can buy are based on the ones you see in that shot
