RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Good morning to all.
I would like to introduce myself and apologise for not introducing myself when I first registered.
I am a 62 yr old who has always enjoyed modelling firstly getting into the Tamiya radio control cars in the late 70’s. As life trundles along unfortunately your hobbies take a back seat due to family commitments and finances. However now that I approach my later years I can retake up my hobby.
I have become hooked on the 1/16 th scale tanks and have so far purchased toro’s tiger, panzer iii,panzer IV, Sherman and a king tiger.
I will work out how to post some pictures soon.
It is a great hobby and totally addictive.

Welcome sir!

Looks like you've got a good start.

Welcome to the Forum
Whereabouts in the World are you as we do have a worldwide membership.
I like the quality of Tamiya Models but the price makes me shy away from modifying them,
I have a particular affection for the PZ4 and I have over the years modified a number of them trying to reflect the changes in the outward appearance of each Ausf,
I cannot bear to think how much it would of cost if I had used Tamiyas Ausf J as a base instead of Heng Longs Ausf F1 and F2 (G) (With contributions from Taigen) And to compound my unhappiness the Early Tunisian Tiger 1 was dropped by Tamiya which just gives Aber a marketplace for their overpriced upgrades ,
Ignore my rants and enjoy this place,
Feel free to ask and answer questions and do join in the threads that interest you.

Hi Coling212133,

Very nice collection you have there! Have fun here, and I hope you enjoy this place as much as I have!

Cheers,
Eric.

"I am a 62 yr old" Uh-oh, now the average age on RCTW is going down again.

"...so far purchased Toro’s Tiger, Panzer iii, Ppanzer IV, Sherman and a King Tiger." That is a fantastic start! I prefer the Torro/Taigen RC tanks because they give me decent running and satisfactory sound right out of the box. Of course, the wizards here on RCTW can do better, but for a start those you chose are hard to beat. If you want to see how I am about Torro/Taigen tanks, see: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=30720 and scroll down through the pictures.

Thank you all for your welcome nice collections you have
