Hi, this looks like a handy site! I bought a HL Tiger many years ago, and fancy resurrecting her with upgrades.
Based in N London, motorcycle technician by trade.
Probably far too old for this sort of thing!
Cheers, Bernie

Many of us here are probably older than you! Welcome to the forum Bernie. This a hobby that can be enjoyed in retirement too.

Bernie Welcome to the Forum
Depending on just how old your Tiger is will depend on whether it is worthwhile upgrading it.But as many Heng Long Tigers end up as shelf queens giving it a decent paint job is maybe all you want to do but if it is more recent then you can take advantage of owning the Tank that has more upgrades available than any other Tank,
As to your great age we do have a few members over the age of 30 and some even as old as 35 so you won't feel completely out of place
I have to warn you if you do get embroiled in the Forum you may start buying more Armour indeed an addiction to RC Armour and Cocaine share the same downsides Expence and Compulsion.
Still it is fun.

Hi, Bernie. I just love jarndice's sense of humor: "a few members over the age of 30 and some even as old as 35" ...and a whole heap of 'em twice 35 and then some. Yes, we grow up, but some of us are smart enough never to grow up too much!

Doc are you saying that some of us are OLD

Well I have a confession to make I am past my second childhood and then some.
But it is still both challenging and FUN and anyone joining us has a lot of new lessons coming with a lot of very good companions to share the hobby.
Bernie we are very welcoming and if you want this hobby to make sense then you have come to the right place.

Thanks, guys! I’ll dig around the attic and fetch the old girl out. I think the tank is up there, too!

Bernie is going to need a Tiger tank to defend himself if the "old girl" sees that message.

Welcome to the forum, from Argyll and Bute, where I have exiled myself, away from all the Tiger 1 that reside here.
