New on the tank hobby

Post by Scottie »

Hi the names Scottie
Have been into flying RC since the seventies and decided to get into RC tanks a few years ago, but had gotten side tracked by job and family. I currently own two 21st century RC Stuart tanks, still in the boxes, a Field of Armour Jagdpanzer, all in 1/6th. I now have a heng long tiger 1 without sound or smoke with a quick airbrush job to see if I could.2 Panzers 1 III and 1 IV. I also have two heng long shermans. I guess I have grand intentions and went a little wild. I am very happy to have found this sight as there is not a lot of clear usable info on the web. I have been in contact with Dave at forgebear and am happy to say he was very helpful and honest to deal with highly recommended for any purchases you need. I have also made a purchase from Medeatech and had the pleasure to work with them on an issue,and they were also very helpful.

Thanks for the welcome, and no I am in the U.S.A., Connecticut to be exact, and yes I definitely jumped in head first. No use in doing this half heartedly.
