RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello everyone,
Just discovered this forum after finding my Tamiya Tiger in the loft which I started 20 years ago. I got as far as the hull, suspension and wheels then lost the electronics. After searching in the loft for xmas decorations I came across the electronics quite by chance after many years. I will have lots of questions as I am a bit rusty after all these years.

Welcome Rik! Hope you get things rolling and enjoy your time here.

Welcome to the forum, 20 year old Tamiya Tigre I, it's vintage, you have come to the right place to get started again.

What a pleasant surprise, to find a partially constructed Tamiya Tiger in the loft I went up in mine lately to check my portrait there and, unlike Dorian Gray's, I found the face there to be just as old, and sin-ridden, as the one I see in the mirror
If only it could have been a Tamiya Tiger... er..make that a Centurion (I already have two tigers)
Enjoy the rediscovery!.

Wow! A Tamiya in the attic and a 1959 Daimler Ferret in the garage. Something tells me you have been at the real ones for a while. I'd bet pictures of both the 1/16 and the 1/1 would, like you, be most welcome here and raise a lot of chatter.

Welcome aboard and what a great attic find!
Roy you’re such a classic guy, Dorian Gray indeed. I bet not that many here know what you’re talking about.

Welcome along

Where in the U.K. are you from?

My dear old Jim, there are times when even I don't know what I'm talking about But, I can use age as a useful excuse (the age of a pure malt Speyside whisky, that is... ).
Here's a lucky Tamiya Tiger find. It wasn't in the loft (attic to some), but surprisingly cheap on Ebay a couple of years ago. It's awaiting a transformation into a late version. Then again, a battered mid-production version is likely to involve less swearing, and groans of despair. Click to ENLARGE the photo.

Rik- do show us some photos of your lucky loft find. They'll get a good New Year drool going here
