Some of you know me from the RCU forums, I don't get home to the UK too often these days but I hope to make it to a battle day someday.
In the meantime I'll stop by to show my support and offer technical assistance  ;D

Hi all! Sorry, I got side tracked with real life there for a bit...

I have too many is the short answer! :o Mostly Heng Long, with a bunch of WSN T34's in various stages of modification:
Currently ready to battle I have a 'factory finished' Bulldog and Pershing with DBC/DBU's and metal gearboxes, plus a Pz IIIL with the same plus Impact winter tracks.
I've just finished a Kursk 'Totenkopf' Pz Gren Div Tiger with the RC2HL system, metal gears and tracks and I have a matching Pz IIIL with scratch built turret schurzen waiting for another RC2HL set.
Next up in the 'tank factory' is painting a Tunisian camo'd pair of sPz Abt 501 Tiger I and Pz IIIN.
I also have a Su 76i conversion (Russian Pz III based tank destroyer) that I need to finish the gun mounting and mechanisation on and finish fitting a TankHobby battle system to, a T34/76 turret converstion that also needs the gun elevation finishing and 2 stock painted T34/85's with HL esc boards that I also have RC2HL or DBC's on order for.
Finally I have a pair of Pz IV conversions that are striped and partially zimeritted - a Pz IVH with full schurzen and a Sturmpanzer IV - both intended to be Normandy 1944 period painted.
After that there's another Tiger, Pz IV F1, Pershing/M45, SturmTiger, 2 KT's, a Su85 conversion and a second Su85 thats going to be converted into a Su122, all to be worked on at some point in the future - the winter here in Detroit is cold and long...  ;D
