I *may* have a problem...

I'm putting it down to COVID-19 panic buying rather than my requirement of needing something to do!
The M38 Jackson, tatty box Chieftain and M60A1 will be moved on and the rest have gearboxes and R/C. I'll post the builds up as they're started.

Thanks Mick - yes the help was perfectly timed!
I find that the 1/35th is cheaper and quicker to work on, whilst taking up far less space! Purchasing metal tracks and full PE kits for less than £50 has a lot going for it...

When I was 13, I had a paper round, I cleaned cars, and I had a little lucrative business at school selling cigarettes.
Back then, a 20 pack of Number 6 brand was 20p or a little more. And the dearest were Dunhill International at 32p a pack.
Anyway, what I did with my money was purchase 1/35 Tamiya tanks. One was a Jackson, and it had little motors, and was wire controlled. How I wished they were all RC. If they were, I may have continued that hobby on and off through my life.

Yep... Same here. Plan to make RC from all of them, but it will be a long journey

I've got a couple things stacked up myself, though they are mostly planes.
I noticed something odd though, M38 Jackson? It should be M36

Actually, it looks like you read it right.. The box appears to say M38, too
