Hello all

I was just wondering, on ebay and other bits I had seen examples of Walterson 1/72 rc tanks such as the Challenger and T72.

I was just wondering if any of you guys on this forum had bought an RC tank of this scale before and had any information as I was considering buying one for a wee toy. {My main Heng Long 1/16 Tiger 1 is the big serious project :D }

Haven't got one, but the range is now 14 tanks, if you allow for the various colour schemes. The latest are a Tiger in 4 different guises, from early to late plus one in transportation mode, plus a British Sherman with 105mm howitzer and a British Firefly.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know there were that many available. Is there a good store to get them from or is it just a case of browsing the web?

The leaflet I got with all the models came from Welsh Dragon Models. They are a recommended supplier and are run by Steve, who is a member here. Worth giving them a try.http://www.welshdragonmodels.co.uk/

At present, he has 4 tanks listed @ £39.99 each, plus P & P I expect. He also operates a shop on ebay, although not everything is listed there.

If you're in the US you can get them from Imex, who carries them. Try here

and you'll see right now they have four models available. Want me to ask Erik how much for shipping to the UK? Where the heck are you, anyway, Craig?
