I've been an RC buff for a few years now and a 1/35 scale modeller for even longer (there not being much else to do on the long winter nights that the missus will tolerate). I'd not thought about combining the two for years though; I'd always been daunted by the Tamiya tanks and not seen the Heng Long things till last year.
Mind you, that was before I visited a tank battle (hosted by the local 69th Panzer Division: The Namahage - bit corny, but that's the lads for you)
That awoke the old TTGer in me, combined it with the RCer, bolted it to the military modeller and sprayed it up in panzer grey.
Lo! I joined up with the group, as they needed German tank destroyers and found myself with my first Jagdpanther sitting on my desk.
