Greetings From Sunny Florida!

Post by Skeeter1979 »

Hello everyone- Retired firefighter here. New to RC tanks, but not completely new to RC: temporarily grounded by health from flying RC planes, a tankhead friend of mine gave me an HL Leopard 2 to play around with. You can guess what happened next, already started buying more. I'm focused mostly on WWII era, because those are the tanks from the movies and stories I remember as a kid. I hope to tank advantage of the impressive knowledge on this board (and I'll need it)!

HL Leopard2A6
Coolbank M5 Stuart
MB Scaler 1/8 (wish it was 1/16 to go with the tanks)

Ah, no doubt you have now seen the selection of WWII RC tanks, etc. Your questions are welcome, as e.g. about HengLong detail parts.

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute. Skeeter? Was that not the name of a character in the Dukes of Hazard? I think he drove the break down lorry?
You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.
