Hi all. Been around for a while. Got my first RC tank (SHERMAN)  about 25 years ago, then a King Tiger. That was before ESC and at that time too fast and mostly uncontrollable.
Got back into the hobby over a year ago but now that I am old and poor went for the Heng Long Pershing. Fell in love with it. a lot better than the very old Tamiya I had.
After the Pershing came the the Bull Dog, then a WSN T34/85 which was converted to a North Korean and at the same time upgraded to Heng Long S&S, Shortly after that a HL Tiger found it way to my place and then came a PzIII.
Went quiet for a while doing other things until a few week ago when I was asked what I would like for my Birthday.
A good thing about getting old and having grown up kids is that they can get you what you want for your birthday if you ask nicely ;D
So with there help and a bit from the Tax man I have added to the fleet
1 X H.L. PZrIV ,1 x H.L. StuggIII, WSN mid production Tiger and another T34/85 and last but not least 1 x mor King Tiger. ::)
