Hi from Oxfordshire

Post by Armour1944 »

Hi,

I live in North Oxfordshire, UK and I'm relatively new to RC, but I now have some indoor helis, a Tamiya Monster truck, an aeroplane and several hovercraft!

I have now (in the last few weeks) also got into tanks and have the following:
1/24: Unimax 'Forces of Valor' Panzer IV, Sherman & Tiger I (all with IR battle function for other models from this range)

1/72: Waltersons 'Bantamweight' Abrams & T-72 (all with IR battle function for other models from this range)

I've also just set up several groups to encourage/grow participation in the above:

Hello Armour1944,

I almost forgot to add that "u" to armor! :haha:

Good to have you aboard. I'm sure you'll find lots of stuff to interest you here. Great bunch of guys, with amazing talent!

Cheers,
Eric.

Hello again.

You seem very keen for someone only being in the hobby for a very short time.

We always welcome pictures of people's armour collection :thumbup:

Personally, I'm particularly interested in seeing and hearing about your Hovercraft, they're something that peaks my interest, especially after going Hovercraft racing many many years ago.
