At last I bought a tank

Hi everyone finally got myself a tank to keep me amused during this horrible pandemic - my son has had one for 5 years but when he visits he never brings it with him, reckon he thinks I might keep it here :)

Have had numerous RC Cars over the years but the last 15 years my main hobby has been RC Yachts and Pilot Cutters, nothing better than seeing a large model cutting through the waters in a strong wind, love photographing it like this

Sadly my first tank had a problem and I am now in communication with the company who sold it to get my money back - it failed within 24 hours, but thats life, more importantly I know my legal rights and I also used Paypal to pay for it - a must these days as they usually respond quicker than getting a chargeback through a bank.

Aims with my tank when I get it are to in the first instance attempt a weathering job on it and hopefully produce something I am happy with, then it will be getting various upgrades together so I can essentially learn the ins and outs of a RC tank.

Hold on, I can feel the moderator power surging through my veins and re-energizing my telekinetic abilities. . . .

It's green. . . .

It's American. . . .

It's made in China. . . .

It's, it's a Heng Long um. . . .

Sherman :D :thumbup:

Welcome along Andrew, shame you’ve gone all allied straight away, I’m sure the dark side will tempt you before long.
You’re only one tank away from getting another
Cheers
