New hobbyist

Post by Scimitar1982 »

Hi,

Looking forward to chatting about models with fellow enthusiasts. I live in S.E England and like RC models of WW2 stuff, up to modern day MBTs. Also interested in the history, tactics and strategy of tank warfare.

Welcome Scimitar to the forum. You said you like RC WWII stuff, do you have any yet?

Greetings from a colonist, Scimitar. Do your have some RC models already? You don't have to reveal your top secrets, but like Eric, I am curious.

Greetings Scimitar 1982 from not S.E England, but from West Coast of Scotland. Not quite as far North and West as one member on here. Given your name, I assume you have one? Pray tell us more. Do you have any RC tanks, if what? We also like pictures. If not, do you have any idea what you would like?

I've got an RC Sherman model and my interest in the Scimitar is from its new role serving in Ukraine (taken straight from UK military service and sent out there).

Wrong Scimitar. I was thinking, from your avatar, of the Reliant Scimitar , and not the FV107.

Maybe there is a 3D printed Scimitar available? Run a search using the box in the upper right corner.
