Welcome, rcnitro! We go low and slow, mean and weathered around here
."2 henglong shermans and a new unopened tongde churchill"...well that's a respectable start for 7 months. You should see the mountains I have after fourteen years. Some here on RCTW get a tank, change out to much more sophisticated electronics, spend months and months on correcting misshapen upper hulls, more months adding detail, painting, fiddling, repainting, etc., etc., etc. (As Yul Brenner said.) I just sit at the computer with my jaw hanging open. Join the fun, ask any questions you like, and show us your tanks as they run and get "experienced."
thanks,ive read a lot of changes but im very pleased with stock,run nearly every day

RC Welcome to the Forum
2 Shermans is just plain greedy,
In the day people started with a Tiger1 but in recent years it is the Sherman, Not enough room for my stubby fingers so I shall continue with more roomy armour,
I assume we can look forward to questions from you ? We will help as much as we can BUT we will never tell you what to do,
Enjoy this place and join in with any thread that you find of interest.

Remember jarndice, it took 5 Shermans to handle 1 Tiger, so we need to have lots of Shermans, and there certainly was a variety.
Now the Churchill would probably never have a chance, except, of course, that I have always favored that beast. As a youngster, when WWII was still rather recent, my definition of the tank was Shermans for the US, Churchills for the UK,
Panzer IV mit Schürzen und Königstiger mit Zimmerit for DE.

Doc I used a similar excuse to justfy building every variant of the Panzer 4 (With external detail)
I now have a garage wall lined with Panzer 4s although I do rotate them in a display cabinet
