Just saying i'm here as recommended. I sit in the background for the most part.I have been into RC for about 40 yrs.

All my tanks are Tamiya as I like their quality.

list of tanks I have:

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.

Hello and welcome to the forum Mr Fan

Yes, looks like you've had quite a head start with modelling.

As always, we'd love to see peoples collections.

Enjoy the forum.
Mick.

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?

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!
