Good idea, thanks!
Glad your not shooting your wife, it's expensive getting replacements!

Nah, finding new ones isn't so bad, it's when they leave you it gets expensive lol.

Nearly all of my tanks are of the BB type, as there are no 'shoot 'em up' IR tank clubs in the Highlands. What I do, is to simulate a proving ground in my garden, to put the tanks though their comparative paces: handling slopes, scaling obstacles and so on. It's interesting to see whether the scale version has the same handling characteristics as the grown-up version. If you have a garden, it can be fun. :thumbup:
Here's an example of a real proving ground, where a Cromwell takes on a Sherman in a climbing over obstacles trial:
