Hi,
Having been a static modeller for over 30 years I decided to branch out and build my first R/C Tank, namely the Tamiya All Option King Tiger. This forum was highly recommended and I look forward to learning a few things and no doubt seeking assistance!

Welcome in board! From York then, so you'll be a fan then of the old LNER. You also have a great museum on your doorstep.
The King Tiger is a great looking tank and quite a big build. One early tip - consider now if you want to apply zimmerit. I have four King Tigers and the one with zimmerit is my personal favourite. It makes the fixing of all detail parts and artwork far more difficult but it's worth it. There's plenty of advice here so use the search feature. Hmm, for all l know you've already built a static example

Welcome! I spent a few years In Knaresborough as a kid- not too far from York. All very nice, but not a patch on the Highlands- to which I've been repatriated
Static models are fine for staring at; but their RC cousins have so much more to offer (debt for instance
). Do enjoy your KT when it arrives.

Welcome WW,
Glad that you've found this Forum! The best of guy's here with amazing talent! We do have a Forum section for static models, so do post some pics of what you've been working on before the RC bug hit!
Cheers,

Hi there! As Eric says, there is a place for photos of static models, too. (hint, hint) I have one of the old static kits of the Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger, and I hope to build it someday as a static model. "Someday," however, can be applied to a whole lot of projects in my case.

Welcome, Sometimes I wonder a bit what the average age is here, as most people seem to have a lot of years experience
