RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Good day to all member's, My name is John and my modelling experience is mainly model railways.(Please don't jump down my throat) but don't be too surprised if I ask silly questions about tanks. Over the last few years I have got into tank modelling, and have now got the bug so to speak. I will be embarking on a large project soon and will probably need help with information and expertise on completing this. I will sign off for now but will be back on the forum soon with questions.

Kind regards

john

Welcome John, the chances of anyone jumping down your throat are quite slim. Most of us will look forward to you project and will help/advise where we can

John, Welcome to the Forum,
There are a fair number of members that have an interest in model railways, My particular interest is LNER immediate post war early British Railways "N" Guage.
A weathered Dapol A4 Pacific with a concentration on Graham Faris Gresley Teak coaches,Plus a shunter or two and a battered Princess Elizabeth class So no laughing from here
Do you have any armour ? What scale and pre war ,War or post war.?
I often say this because it is true the only silly questions are the questions you do not ask, How do you think we became experts ,
We asked questions!!!
Enjoy this place and we are here 24/7 with our world wide membership.

Thank you for your response. I'm lucky to have a large layout 'oo' gauge mainly modelling LMS. I have only built a few plastic kits 1:35 scale recently so far. However years ago I built a 1:16 scale Tamiya radio control Sherman. What got me back building tanks. I went to a model airplane show and on display roaming round the field was a 1:6 scale Armotek Early Tiger 1 which was amazing. After having words with the man who built the thing I decided to do more investigation into this scale and after biting the bullet, I actually ordered one of these kits. (Which could put me totally out of my depth) I am currently awaiting delivery (which should be in the next six weeks), of a king tiger. I am currently doing some research and have decided to build No 312 of the SS Panzer Battalion 501 which was present in the Ardennes campaign. I have seen some photos in a book of this tank which has raised some questions on the build. So I am hopeful that the tank community can help.

Just be aware if you plan taking that monster to any shows in particular 1940s wartime some have a problem with ss markings of any type, certainly in the uk the midlands based ones I do don’t allow any ss markings

Thank you for this warning I will bear this in mind

Welcome aboard! I’ve been model railroading for almost 50 years in all scales but RC tanks have consumed my modeling time for the last few years.
I think if SS symbols are banned then they should ban the hammer and sickle as well. Just a personal opinion.

Welcome from NJ, USA.

You will get a lot of help from the members.

We love pictures.
In keeping with that, here is picture of my KT.
Mine flies the pennant of the Schwere SS-Panzerabteilung 101.

Nice modeling and weathering!
