One to many? It might even be one too short...

Post by Spookworks »

In my eagerness to make some comments within a thread I forgot to introduce my self. I have tinkered with RC tanks for some time now and my collection beeing larger as result.
Here´s a list of tanks I´ve got. The RC, motorised and static tanks are detailed with metal etched parts, home made parts and bought parts from Aber, Atak, schumo-kits, AFV Model among others.

Tamiya 1:16 RC
2x M4 sherman (metal upgrades, photo etch and other) 1 built, 1 unbuilt but with special parts in hand.
1X M26 Pershing (metal upgrades, photo etch and other) Unbuilt with special parts in hand.
3x Tiger I (metal upgrades, photo etch and other) 1 built, 2 unbuilt with special parts in hand (Aber Exclusive edition 16K01 super detail set and other).
2x King Tiger II (metal upgrades, photo etch and other) 1 built, 1 unbuilt.
1x Panther Type G (metal upgrades, photo etch and other)
1x Jagdpanther (metal upgrades, photo etch and other)
1x Panzerkampfwagen IV (metal upgrades, photo etch and other)
2x Leopard Flakpanzer (metal upgrades, photo etch and electronic upgrades Clark 22) Auctually 3 tanks, 1 beeing canibalized so I can continue to build one super detailed with new electronics and 1 as the kit were built in the 70´s
2x Kubelwagen Type 82 (metal upgrades and other) 1 built,1 one unbuilt.

Taigen 1:16 RC
2x Stug III ( all metal, electronic upgrade, Clark 22) Never ending story! Built but being refurbished once again!
1x Tiger i ( all metal, electronic upgrade, Clark 22) Partially built. Haven´t decided what individual it will be.

Metal Origin Design 1/16 RC
1x Sd.Kfz. 234/2 (metal and electronic upgrades) Partially built. Need to solve the gun recoil issue...


Heng Long 1:16 RC
1x T-90 (metal and electronic upgrades) Taken apart to implement gun recoil, IR and other small problems.

Tamiya 1:25 RC
1x Chieftain. Built, Tamiya RC
2x Panther A (metal upgrades, with Clark)
2x Jagdpanther (metal upgrades, with Clark)
1x T-34 (metal upgrades, with Clark)
1X SU-100 (metal upgrades, with Clark)

Tamiya 1:35 RC
2x German Panther Type G (metal upgrades)
2x Tiger I (metal upgrades)
1 x King Tiger (metal upgrades)
2x Leopard 2A5 (metal upgrades)

And I´ve got a large number of motoriced and static tank models and other armed vehicles in scales:
1:6 and 1:35 Dragon
1:16 and 1:35 Trumpeter,
1:25 and 1:35 Tamiya,
1:35 Hobby Boss,
1:35 Academy.

I have tried to document my tank fleet but doesn´t either have the time or place to do that. And as a result I have a lot of the tanks stored. I rather choose to build...

Probably forgot some tank models and, but I have certainly not forgot my wife´s patience regarding my hobby.
Cheers!

A Warm welcome from the Highlands of Scotland, too, Alex. Though warm it is not at the moment. :haha: Given your Aladdin's Cave of Tamiya, and other treasures, I'd be amazed if you had time for any the 'normal' things in life...including posting a mini-biography here. :lolno: But do post some pics of your enviable ;D assembly of hardware! :thumbup:
