RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi Guys,

My name's Wes and I'm 33 from Worcestershire. I've been a long time time Tamiya tank modeller on and off since I was a kid and recently time permitting a Flames of War Late War US player. I had been eyeing up RC Units for years and finally pulled the trigger on a Heng Long Sherman with metal gearbox and tracks which I'm currently putting through it's paces in my garden proving ground whilst deciding which way to go with markings, stowage and possible upgrades, but at present my main goals for the Sherman are painting the tracks, drive sprocket and idler wheels to match the rest of the vehicle. Overall though I'm leaning towards a model that represents the overall flavour of Sherman tanks rather than maybe one particular 100% historically accurate tank.

Need to get cracking though as I also want a Tiger 1, Panzer IV, T-34.... damn it I want them all now!!

Looking forward to getting the most from the forum, making new friends and hopefully meeting up with other guys in the West Midlands.

Wes

you have gone down the right road getting a Sherman wot wot like the way you think,....as regards general, and not specific .......

Hi Wesper
Welcome to the forum.
Nice intro. I like your 100% historically accurate thinking.
You are on the right forum to get help with your research.

We like piccy's of models lots of them, even better if they are a build log.
Join in the forum banter, you have made a start with your intro.

Enjoy playing in your garden proving ground any pic's of that.
Be happy.

Hi Wes and welcome along to the forum, great place to get info and tips on what your planning to do !! but it gets addictive

Hi wes, welcome welcome to the site.

Welcome. Now put a plow on that tank and turn over that soil while you are out playing in the garden.
