All my tanks are Tamiya as I like their quality.

1) leopard 2A6
2) M26 Pershing
3) King Tiger
4) M51 Super Sherman
5) Gepard - static being converted - put on hold - I'll get back to it
6) Type 10
7) Abrams 1A2
M4 sherman
9) Jagdpanzer IV 70 Lang
10) M551 Sheridan
That's a little about me, thanks for having me.

Welcome! I'm sure there are several members of The TamiyaClub who contribute to RCTW, and who want to broaden their horizons a tad.
Many members here begin the collecting process (an unending one for some) with a Tiger 1; but the Tiger appears to be missing from your impressive list of Tamiya gear. Is there any reason why you don't favour the Tiger 1, or the Panzer IV?

Re: New to forum
Thanks everyone for the greetings. Really wasn't expecting any responses. I visited the forum for years as a guest for many years.
As for pictures, I really never took any of the tanks.I enjoy building them more than anything. I have a lot of 1/14 Semi tractors and not many pics. of those either.
As far as why no Tiger 1, I built the King Tiger with all the recommended upgrades and really didn't like the results. So i'm sticking with the newer kits I guess. (better luck) The Tiger 1 is the oldest kit, I think, so i am basing it on that I guess? I do like my Pershing though. The list is the order that I got them by the way.
My Gepard is 50 - 75% finished. Bought all the guts from SGS electronics in Germany and I think I got over whelmed with translating instructions etc... It is a complex build and costly. I didn't want to screw it up so I put it aside before I messed some thing up. That was many years ago now, but has been on my mind lately to start again. There is not a lot builds for information on these.(hard to find any way)
My Sheridan is in process But not finished yet,
Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it - Ha - Ha!
Thanks again for responses!
