Hi, new to forum and new to tanks, bought a Mato Tiger as it looked rather nice. Experience with gliders and drones. Recently designed and scratched built the internals for my 1.6metre type VII U bolt, entailed quite a bit of engineering.

Welcome aboard! I would love to order an Arkmodel 1/48 type 7! I drool over the YouTube videos. Unfortunately my modeling projects are spread to dangerous levels already.

The Tiger is undergoing a respray, I left it sitting in the window and the sun bleached the paintwork that was exposed to the sun leaving me with a two tone tank! What’s more, that was British sunshine so not exactly Sahara desert strength. Below are some photos of the sub with a part painted Tiger to its right.

Although not a tank, I thought you may be interested to see a pic of my other toy, although this one weighs in at 12 tons. For the uninitiated it’s a Mk6 Saracen APC

Hello and welcome
I remember the Saracen was a popular run a round in NI back in the 70s, the Saracens on the news were mostly on fire.
All the best
