Looking good... if only it could deep-ford its way to my western side of the pond

Re: Tamiya mid production Tiger I
It's the same way with modern tanks like the Abrams. Sometimes you get a part in the field that is green when the tank is in desert camo or desert camo when the tank is forest camo. Eventually they paint it, but functionality is more important than aesthetics when you are in combat. Sometimes it's all about just having a spare part to install.VVhitesnake wrote: ↑Wed Jan 14, 2026 11:48 pmAh yeah got ya, nice oneAd Lav wrote: ↑Wed Jan 14, 2026 12:51 pmRed oxide primer - my idea that parts replaced in the field were not always painted!VVhitesnake wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 12:09 am Hey

Yeah that makes sense, and I heard this about the Abrams. Was it not that during the Iraq invasion all the Abrams tanks had actually green Forrest camo etc, and they were painted into desert camo in while in Iraq

Re: Tamiya mid production Tiger I
I remember the build on this tank. It inspired me to rebuild my Tamiya Tiger. If I was in the UK I'd definitely be buying it.

Re: Tamiya mid production Tiger I
Thank you for the kind words guys
It’s a peach of a tank, I always put my all into them but dwindling meets and fellow tankers to catch up with locally has somewhat dented my lust for rc tanks.

"...dwindling meets and fellow tankers to catch up with locally has somewhat dented my lust for rc tanks." I am sorry this is so, Ad Lav, for I always admire your builds. There are no meets anywhere near me, but RCTW keeps me up to date with ideas (although w-a-a-y behind in skills).
