RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello, I am a history enthusiast from Missouri, United States. I mostly deal with world war II and American Civil War history, and recently got into RC Tanking. I am currently working on a 1/16 scale Heng long M4A3 Build, and am excited to use this forum for advice/tips!




P.S. Merry Christmas!

Hey! If anyone has any cool ideas for my M4A3 Sherman's name, it would be much appreciated !

Merry Christmas and greetings from a Cape Girardeau, MO native. I’m living in Illinois now
Apparently we have similar interests, WW2 and American Civil War. Welcome aboard and enjoy our forum. Be sure to use the search engine for some good reading.
Years ago I had a patient who had flown B-25 Mitchells in WW2. He said their plane was named Biscuit. I thought it sounded like a cool name. Not to be confused with the British word biscuit which is more like a cookie to us Yanks.
I nicknamed my Tiger tank Ol’ Ugly. One of our fellow Missourians calls it Miss Leningrad.

Welcome along Mr HVSS, you will find a dedicated crowd of fellow "Shermaholics" in here I can assure you !
Back in the day I built a Monogram 1/35th Sherman & had "Momma was a Chevy" hand painted on the turret if that helps

Thank you! I really like the name biscuit, so I think I'll take inspiration from it and call it "Cracker" or something!

Hello! As already noted, there are more than a few Sherman fiends here, although many seem to prefer that 17-pounder British job with the bustle. How are you for Sherman books? I have rather a few and can recommend some if you need. You might also check out the section "Reference Materials." Now as to "Cracker"... Well, unh, given US history... (I wonder if our UK pals and others around the globe caught that one.)

Ha ha ha. I was waiting for that. Such a shame we have such a woke society here in America. I still like Cracker.

C_HVSS,

I'm the other guy from Missouri that Jimster was talking about! I'm a Wisconsin Native, moved to Seattle for 12 years, but have been in Jeff City for the past 13 years. Missouri Winters are way better to deal with and I love the heat and humidity of the Summer's! Yeah, I'm sick like that! Hope you enjoy yourself here, the guys are great!

Cheers,
Eric.
