Hi, I'm completely new to this, have a HL coming for Christmas, I know it's been delivered but mrs won't let on. I'm a lifelong modeller, mostly 1/35 before so as well as enjoying the features of the tank I'll be repainting and weathering along with any functional improvements.
Happy Christmas to all.

Re: New member, lots to learn!
Happy Holidays to you and your family---especially a dear one who would buy you an RC Tank! Many of us know about "mostly 1/35 before," and some with eyesight left still model in that scale. But being a " 'murrican" I was hooked on 1/16 decades ago, even before I starting losing hearing, sight, and brains.

Welcome from Argyll and Bute. My wife has just said no to me buying a 1/6 Armourtec Challenger.
The book is open that she has bought you a Tiger 1?

You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.

Welcome to the forum Dave. I look forward to seeing your new tank and how you refinish it.

Welcome to the Forum from NJ, USA.
I hope it's not a Pantiger.
Recently had a less than favorable experience with my wife buying me a tank.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada 
!
Former 1/72 builder here so 1/16 is ginormous! You will enjoy your new tank and the acres of plastic to improve. Any idea what kind it will be?

Just remember a tank is for life not just for Christmas
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
