RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello, here's a quick video I made some times ago, turret rotation and elevation are now working, I'll make another video.

I received the amazing masks made by Rad to make the markings of my Stuart. It's a Polish Stuart from the 1st Armored Division.
I can't praise enough Rad's work. He has been so kind and patient with me haha but it paid off. I highly recommanded Rad if you want to paint your own markings. Thanks again mate !

Masks are easy to apply. They are low tack, no risk to peel the paint. Some more pics, I havent taken pics of all the markings and weathering is in progress in these pics but you get the idea. I still have to paint the pionneer tools, some other stuff that goes on the tank but it's freezing right now outside (and I paint in my garden) so I have to wait for a warmer weather.

Nicely done sir!

Thank you Barry !

Oooh, nice work! That project is slowly to the top of my list seeing all this. Very inspirational.

Looks great. I have a special place in my heart for Stuarts.

I sure am impressed by your Stuart build. Apart from the scratch-built RC, I admire your weathering touch and unique markings. (Yes, Rad is a great and kind help indeed.)
I have the Classy Hobby Stuart kit, and intended to build it stat---unh... maybe I could... I am learning about the electronics... I will take another look at Louis's build, too. I noticed that you did the whole thing from 4 November to 10 December. If I try building my Stuart RC, the day and month might be the same, but the years will be one or two apart.

Nice job!
I’ve literally been given a M5A1 this morning for my birthday and started looking to see what others are doing. Good to see such a growing following.
I’ll follow with a renewed interest.

Excellent work and glad to see the masks worked fine for you

Thanks guys !

Thanks Herr Doctor. It went even faster than, I actually get to the primer stage within one week (including one and a half day building the tracks ). It was also running minus the rotation and elevation. I actually spent more time on the painting and weathering so far !

It's been so fast thanks to Louis's awesome step by step thread, I knew from the start what I needed, I knew what I could do (regarding what I have electronic wise and what I could do with my poor electronic skills, I discarded the recoild, flashing guns and moving MG, that's sad because I enjoyed the look of them in Louis's videos).

The Classy Hobby is a very nice kit. Most of the parts are very nice, some need some care but all in all it's a straight forward build. And it's kinda unique as a RC model in 1/16 scale It's my favorite tank now (of my collection). So tiny when you compare it to a King Tiger (the canon looks like the KT MG); it's a very cute tank. And it runs well ! Super fast, fast turns etc, just like the original !

Don't be affraid, with the help of Louis's thread, it doesnt take long to build it, and you won't regret !
