Welcome to the Forum :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
Your inability to post photographs is a matter of complete indifference to some of us on this Forum :haha:
The Heng Long Tiger 1 is almost certainly the most popular first 1/16 Tank that members buy/get given,
It has more upgrades available than any other Tank and it really is very good value for money especially when it is someone else's money.
It is very important that you understand that no matter how hard you resist you will obtain by fair means or foul more Tanks,
There are many who have resisted but almost nobody succeeds in owning just one Tank for very long So I suggest that like the actress said to the Bishop you lie back and think of England :lolno:
Enjoy your Forum. And please join in the threads that appeal to you :thumbup:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Welcome to the forum. Tip number 1. Buy a paper shredding machine, never leave those upgrade receipts laying around because you quickly run out of excuses why you just had to buy it ! ;)

Welcome Trueblue1415!

Perhaps it's coincidental, but 1415 was, of course, the year when a wee English army destroyed a much larger French army, and much of the French nobility, at the Battle of Agincourt. ;)
. :D Those longbows were feared throughout Europe. Lately, I've discovered that the longest (4.7km) tank-on-tank kill was achieved by a British Challenger 1, in the First Gulf War.
The record for the longest sniper shot kill (2,707 yards) used to belong to the British Accuracy International L115AE sniper rifle. :) Maybe then you can get your Heng Long to fire further than the suggested max of 25m!
I presume it's Airsoft)
