Hello from Colorado

Post by RCPlaneFanatic »

Hi, here since I just bought my first tank and hoping to learn more about the hobby!

Welcome, we require photos of your purchase. Well it’s not mandatory but we all enjoy a look at everyone else’s tanks
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Hello and welcome from Wisconsin where, we too, have had a snowy winter and so far a rather stormy spring. Although you certainly are not pressed to reveal anything that could jeopardize security, we'd like to know more. (We can be somewhat like the plant Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors," FEED ME!) Which tank did you get? How is it working so far? Indeed, photos are not at all obligatory--but we do enjoy them and have fun seeing what others are doing with tanks. Then, too, if it's at all close to you out west there, check FRAG: https://www.fragarmor.com/

Here she is- a Heng Long Leo 2A6 from Delta-LT on eBay. Highly recommend the seller, the upgrades included are great. I'm going to add some details like opening the CITV and gunner sights, adding colored lenses, and modding the headlight lenses a bit.

I am right by where FRAG was located, but unfortunately it looks like they've closed up shop until they can build a new facility. Hoping they can reopen because I'd love to join their club.

Thanks for the photo and the name of the seller on ebay. I am not too flush with moola right now, but I will enjoy looking at what Delta_LT has to sell. I suspect you know this already; however, there are sellers on ebay (and probably many more) who offer the colored glass (if it is glass on the real; its a paper for models) that protects commanders' and gunners' vision from lasers. Years ago I put some in an Abrams and then gave the Abrams to a friend out of respect for his Vietnam service in the US Marine Corp.

Welcome aboard. I visited the Frag site when I lived out there (a mile east of Columbine) have since relocated a few miles/hours east. A great bunch of other Coloradans within your state.
