Hi from a newbie
Hello fellow tankers. I built my first tank a year ago, which was a Tamiya Tiger 1. I then got into airbrushing and weathering. More recently I have bought a Leopard and an Abrams from HengLong then proceeded to upgrade the Leopard with Taigen chassis and top deck using the HL turret which was IR, BB, and FPV. Upgraded this further with TK 6.1s, full metal running gear, Taigen gearbox, and 360 turret. Then weathered. The Abrams has been repainted completely, and upgraded with all metal running gear, 360 turret, and weathered. With the previous leopard bits left over, I then purchased another turret, BB, IR, barrel recoil and assembled another Leopard with 360 turret. This one is not weathered. During this summer I have built 2 crawlers and bought a basher. RC has kept me occupied during lockdown and I am looking forward to getting using it all in 2021.

Re: Hi from a newbie
Thanks guys. I did attempt to upload a short video of my tiger 1 which was 20 seconds duration, but it failed due to file size. I’ll get a few stills gathered of my 4 tanks and post them shortly.
