Buy a Tamiya sherman and upgrade it with new turret/gun

[panzer3]

yep i would except, the cost was a little restrictive , or would have done long ago . so now looking for bits

[Ad Lav]

Ah, yes they are expensive, worth the extra funds though...

Never had a Mato/HL or other branded RC tank so only know Tamiya!

I must admit i'm quite impressed by the new 1/35th IR tanks with sounds etc!

i have a tamiya king tiger , it is fabulous and engineering wise superb , but the tracks are the weak link , need some metal tracks ,

but i do own a mato Sherman, need some work , and a heng long panzer 3, stug 3, panzer 4 ,s&S and a tiger ,, which i am working on now
also a project Sturmtiger . and have two basic tigers ,,, one has to go . need to sell that .
but the heng long are cheap enough to chop up and not make you cry if its wrong
i am looking for a tamiya hull top for the Sherman and that's a project too ,

[Ad Lav]

lol

You have loads on the go!

Trouble is upgrading to metal tracks can put a strain on the gearboxes.

I mostly build 1/35th as models, got a few 1/16th static kits.

Recently sold my Tamiya Sherman and now selling my Tamiya Tiger I, they are awesome, wouldn't mind a DAK Panzer IV but who knows!

Its alot of money but well spent!

[panzer3]

if i am honest ,,i should have bought the tiger ,, instead of the king tiger .. or gone for the Sherman . but we live and learn
and the looking for parts and stowage is interesting

Why not go for something different, like a Sherman or a Pz IV? The only reason I bought a Tamiya KT was that I happened to find it way cheaper than in the store, in other words pure luck.

I'd love to have had a Tamiya Panther or Pz IV, but maybe I'll find one cheap price in the future.

A Sherman would also have been interesting to be honest...

the second world war ,,,,,,,,,was fought basically be two sides the allies ,,,,,,,,,British and American etc
and the axis powers Germany Japan

you forgot the canadians and if it we where not there you all would be speeking german who do you think garded all the convoys to the uk and in 42 had the 3 largest navy in the world canada with out us you would have had no arms to fight or food to eat

[panzer3]

i certainly didn't forget the Canadians ,,,,,or the Aussies or New Zealand . or even the Caribbean islands .. the list would go on forever . , i was just basically referring to the uniform types ,
i had family fought with the Canadians. at Vimy ridge in the 1st war in the Canadian army , and the Aussies in ww2 Burma nor did i forget the countries who were in it from the start .

so no i dont forget any of them . and it would be impossible to name all ..
