Another tanker in the hood

Hey lads,
New tanker onboard! Sweet 49 yrs old, Finance guy and from good old Germany near Cologne.
Former static 1/35 tank modeller with good painting and weathering skills.
Since my childhood I do love tanks for reasons I don‘t know.
Built already a Tamiya Tiger I 1:16 from the 501st heavy tank batallion OTB with some soldered Aber modifikations.
What else is on the shelf?!? HL Leopard 2A6 OTB, Taigen Panther II, Taigen Pz III.
The last two I‘d like to convert with static models from Trumpeter (Panther) and Das Werk/ Heller Pz III.
Cheers
Matthias

Great start with the Tamiya Tiger as your first RC tank. Your other 3 choices are excellent too. The Taigen Panther is very well done detail wise and is a great runner
