I'll start! Takom 1/16 scale Renault FT static plastic model converted to radio control. Details in my "Renault on a Budget" thread. Heng Long 1:30 motor and electronics. In lieu of turret rotation, I chose to detail the crew compartment. Crew and engine hatches made to open.

No headlight on this tank, so I placed a light inside instead.

Hello to all,

this is my actual submission : the Marder !

The original Marder is the first pre-series edition, approx 1978 and it was the vehicle of my active army time. So I have a special relation to this model.
This was my first scratch model. The lower hull is aluminium sheet, gearbox Tamiya Sherman, tracks & suspension Leopard 2 and powered by Beier electronics USM-RC.
