Hello fellow TOTM enthusiasts.

I thought I'd get the new years competition rolling a couple of days later than usual, give those family comment holiday moments a little extra time to get out of the way.

So here it is, the first competition of the new year.

You now have the usual seven days to submit an entry.

We look forward to getting the chance to view the delights that are offered up for us to admire.

The January TOTM chat thread can be found via the following link.

New Year - new luck; well, I'll pick up the challenge…

This is my AMX-13 operated by the IDF while Six Day War in 1967.

As usual the model kit was 3D designed by myself, made of styrene and printed parts. All electrics are from HL and Mato.

A video taken at a RC tank playground at Sigmaringen south of Germany:

I’ll embarrass myself with another go at this. I know my Initial Production Tiger has been thrown in your faces numerous times but it’s the only completed (ha ha) tank that I have. Since it’s first entry last year I’ve added some details like Aber smoke launchers, scratch built spare antenna tube mounted correctly and a more detailed commander’s hatch. The electronics are Clark’s TK-40 sbus and a speaker from our very own Stian. After a year of backyard maneuvers the gears, motors and tracks have smoothed out and drives smooth as butter. It’s definitely been a labor of love and the help from the experts on this forum enabled me to make it happen. Thank you all.
