The tanks have taken over !!!

Post by Jake79 »

Hallo to everyone at RC Tank Warfare

Thought I should introduce myself and say thank you for all the useful information on this forum that has helped the start of my journey into the rc world of tanking that bit easier. Im completely new to rc and modelling. So for the past three months I've gone what I would call tank mad!!. I now own 9 tanks, I do think though I did go about it the wrong way, what I should of done was buy one tank upgrade it etc then gone on to the next one, well im poor now so it will have to be weathering and buying small add ons such as metal hatches to make my tanks look that bit better and more realistic. Which I find just as enjoyable apart from the chipping process, anyway the tanks so far. 6 heng longs 3 taigens

Heng long pros

Panther G, M26, Bulldog, Tiger 1 el mod, Panzer 3, Shermen 105,

Taigen

King tiger, Late Tiger 1 full metal, Panther A

That's my little tank family yet to include any Russians or Tamiya's. All in good time I hope. This really is a great hobby im so glad I found it and this forum. I hope the future holds some builds for me, as I gain experience, the KV2 would be a good one. Thanks again, I'll upload some pic's when I work out how to.

cheers Jake :)

Modifying them might slow down the multiplication process... but not by much :haha: :haha: :haha:

I have to slow down otherwise the bills mount up. :( although I can smell a Tamiya in the air, I think my Taigen king Tiger needs a brother :crazy: more £s. No I'll leave it a month, then I'll be on the hunt for a used Tam KT. Happy days.....
