RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi, first registered in 2011 as bluemax I am retired now, still building mainly Tamiya rc tanks.
All the best,
Brian

Hi Brian and welcome back to the forum you'll no doubt notice a lot of new members here from when you last joined but all the basics are still the same please post some pics of your fleet when you get a chance

Cheers, Lee.

Welcome back, Brian!

Whereabouts are you in the UK? Hopefully, you live in a low Covid area.
As Lee suggested, it would be interesting to see what you have been building in the last nine years.

Greetings Brian,

Welcome back into the fray. I'm a new member but have enjoyed the camaraderie of the forum immensely. Do show us some pictures when you have a chance.

Cheers,
Eric.

Hi Eric, at present I am building a Tamiya Panther type G and a Jagbpanther, both assembled and awaiting paint. I will post some photos when they are completed.

Brian

We have a few Jagdpanther builds going currently, and so it will be interesting to see how you deck yours out, Brian.
I see you live in Weymouth. Isn't that where they filmed the 'French Lieutenant's Woman', or was it Lyme Regis? No matter, Dorset's a lovely place to visit, and temptingly close to the Tank Museum at Bovington

Out of curiosity, is there reason why are you building the Panther and the Jagdpanther at the same time, or can't you favour one over the other?

I had both of the Tamiya kits on a shelf for about ten years, I thought that it would be just as easy to build two as one. As for painting, for the G I favour the dark green, red brown and dark yellow with spots as tank number 301 in 1945 as neither of mine are zimmerit pasted. I have not yet decided on a scheme for the Jagd.
My king Tiger, Stug 111 and Panzer IV are ready for paint. My other tanks are in in various states although I have not yet started my metal Famo and Elephant.
Very handy being so close to Bovington

Sounds like an enviable stable of armor. Like the others, I’m ready to see some photos when you get a chance.

Brian,

Sorry for the late reply. I really like the Tiger's; but when it comes right down to it, the Panther G and JP are really my 2 favorite tanks of all time. Your camo scheme for the Panther is also my fave too. I'll be eagerly awaiting pictures.

Cheers,
Eric.
