Yet Another Newbie

Post by James Findlay »

Hi all,

My names Jimmy I'm from the Wirral on merseyside I enjoy all sorts of model making, I have raced RC 1/12 scale cars for a few years
built electric RC boats and earlier this year re-joined my local model yacht club and now race an RC internation one metre yacht at club level.

I always like the idea of getting a scale tank and decided this week to order the Heng Long 1/16 Early Production Tiger 1 (the wifes going to kill me).

Not to sure if I should have got the BB Shooting Tank but I should imagine I can convert it to the IR Battle System if I ever
manage to find a club and someone to fight :D

Regards
Jimmy

Welcome Jimmy, Many of us have been threatened by the wives, mine made it clear no more tanks!! So what can we do,after 19yrs with her I can't give her back, interesting about the boating and we do have a section for those builds as well.
