My stuff - rctankmaster

Post by rctankmaster »

As some of you may know, i've trimmed things down considerably in recent years. Gone are the days of 50+ AFV's in 1/16 or larger and tons of spares that i purchased from RiKo Ltd the Tamiya importer, when they closed.

I'm now down to approx 20 with only a ton of spares Image

All my 1/25 and 1/24, plus Bandai 1/15 (and spares) are gone, but you can see some older photo's here in the Bandai/WSN/Heng Long Yahoo group....

Link

This is a group i'm still active with and co-moderate, so feel free to check it out....

Homepage Link

I have no real interest in running Heng Long tanks. In fact the only two vehicles i use now are a Tamiya Tiger and my Armour Concepts/Doyusha M1A2 Abrams project, hence if anybody needs HL internal spares or wishes to trade their static/gutted vehicles for ones that are (literally) out of the box & put on the shelf... just ask

Current motor pool list of all genre's is.......

MkIV male tank (Verlinden)
MkV* (scratch)
King Tiger (Forces of Valor)
Jadgtiger (WeCoHe)
Sturmtiger (HL)
Tiger 1 mid-conversion (Tamiya full-op)
Tiger 1 DAK (HL)
T-35/76 (Trumpeter/WSN)
T-35/85 x3 off (Trumpeter/WSN)
Su-85 conversion (Trumpeter/WSN/Imperial-Modellbau)
M1A2 Abrams (Armour Concepts/Doyusha/Hobbyzone full-op)
Panther, Jagdpanther and Panther II conversion (Tamiya)
Pershing (HL)
Panzer III (HL)
Hetzer (Cromwell Models)
M36-B1 Jackson conversion (Tamiya)

Some will be sold, others i can't contemplate loosing yet (eg: the Wecohe Jadgtiger), some others i'd still like to acquire such as HL Stug III and Trumpeters new M16 half-track

Cheers.....

Delete the HL DAK Tiger, Cromwell Hetzer and 2x r/c T-34's from the above list.

Add a HL Stug III, Trumpeter T-34/85 (the one with interior) and joy of joy.... an original 1/16 Elefant...!!!

They are 1/15 scale, not very highly detailed have crap gears an the tracks are a little brittle there is a guy in Canada who has one for sale $6000 £3000 but he has a very dodgy record most people wouldn't bu a used anything from him there is also a guy on evil bay selling a replica of a replica plaster kit so the detail will be very poor and plaster being plaster will be extremely brittle not suitable for RC this would use a Tiger II chassis the pictures he uses belong to someone else
