Hi from Southern California. I ended up at this forum because I'm starting a Takom Panzer 1 r/c conversion and saw the excellent build thread here. I'm a regular at the Hobby Squawk forum which is associated with motion RC. I just finished a Vandra conversion of a M3 Lee from a Heng Long M4 Sherman. I've updated a Heng Long 27mhz M26 Pershing to v.6.0 2.4ghz. and a Heng Long Sturmgschutz III from 5.3 to 6.0 level. I'm waiting the Vandra kit to convert a Heng Long Panzer IV to a StuG IV.
I used to own a number of HL tanks about a decade ago. There sure has been a quality and function improvement in the interval. Anyway, hi guys, it's great to be part of a community of like minded enthusiasts!

Hello and welcome to the forum
that's a very nice looking M3 you have completed there
I have the same vandra kit sitting on an heng long Sherman lower hull but unfortunately it's got stuck waiting on the production line with all of my other on going projects
please feel free to post any other pics you have of it or your other models
Cheers,Lee.

Gotta find a quick way to shrink my photos before I start posting. They're all off my iPhone and default size is ~4mb.

Welcome to the Forum
Tearing them down and building them up both different and better makes you a natural on this Forum,
It is pretty much what most of us seem to do
If you have questions we have answers, If you like a thread we want you to join in
Enjoy.

Great photos, SoCalBob! Your experience is going to be great here! I also have a Takom Pzkw. I and it is one of a few possibilities of light tanks I am considering for RC conversion, so you can show me how to handle all the mechanicals!
Then, too, I have recently bought two HengLong Shermans. (Usually I stick to Torro/Taigen.) My other HengLong tanks are about ten years old, and the improvements in electronics are just as you say.
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
