At last I bought a tank
Hi everyone finally got myself a tank to keep me amused during this horrible pandemic - my son has had one for 5 years but when he visits he never brings it with him, reckon he thinks I might keep it here
Have had numerous RC Cars over the years but the last 15 years my main hobby has been RC Yachts and Pilot Cutters, nothing better than seeing a large model cutting through the waters in a strong wind, love photographing it like this
Sadly my first tank had a problem and I am now in communication with the company who sold it to get my money back - it failed within 24 hours, but thats life, more importantly I know my legal rights and I also used Paypal to pay for it - a must these days as they usually respond quicker than getting a chargeback through a bank.
Aims with my tank when I get it are to in the first instance attempt a weathering job on it and hopefully produce something I am happy with, then it will be getting various upgrades together so I can essentially learn the ins and outs of a RC tank.

Welcome along Andrew, shame you’ve gone all allied straight away, I’m sure the dark side will tempt you before long.
You’re only one tank away from getting another
