Its not so bad Herman, every time I take my tanks out in the snow something catastrophicly fails despite them being acclimatised in the cold before hand

Very impressive snow performance! I love the pro tip about letting it cool down for 20 minutes before starting - makes perfect sense.

Now that my winter T34 is prepped and ready I will be playing here if we get a sprinkling of snow at some stage. :D
Tamiya King Tiger (no options)
Taigen Full Metal T34 (winter)
Heng Long Challenger II (European camo')
Tamiya Tiger I full options (still in the box)

Nice! The trick for getting the snow to not stick is let the tank sit outside for 15ish minutes before driving.

Heck, I kind of enjoy the look of snow covered tracks.
