Nice fynsdad... maybe if you get enough weight in it...you can push the kids while they are playing with their toys ..............

That's fantastic
You really have taken RC tankery to a new level of fun ...........

Boy fynsdad... that light really helps...I see you have already done some night maneuvers .... you got the floor cleaned up nicely...

Ps... that boom is really strong...is it supporting the weight of the tank...or is it the angle of the camera? .. looks to have the front of the Sherman lifted off the ground

I think the construction is impressive as always..are you going to add more of the details that were shown in the photos?

Wish you had some photo's of the construction phase of that boom... Personally I think it's the hardest part in a build like this... to build it and have it be structurally sound

Won't ask what happened there fynsdad... just crossing my fingers it wasn't something extreme.... just glad to see you back in the saddle again...nice job on the mud flaps... though you do know what mud flaps might lead too... SKIRTS

Carpe Diem Modelmaster fynsdad... quick recovery

Everything matches well... the crew and trailer really add to the entire package... but dang fynsdad... is that a metal tow hitch?...It took less than a second for mine to break off...can't imagine towing anything with it lol

There has to be a super secret... I've done glue... it doesn't work... for long anyway
