Hello from the U.S.

Post by sapper23 »

Hello, new to RC here. Came to this group even though a uk group because best and most comprehensive site out there I have seen. I have three RC tanks so far. I am a years long modeler in all scales, therefore the tanks I have I am currently modifying to look right to to say or, at least more right lol

Here is my first RC tank... I did some on this but was not and still am not totally comfortable with the RC parts so I did not modify hull and sides on this but did a lot of the cosmetic stuff.

Ty guys ... Yeah looking to learn some and also have fun but, I defo enjoy the build. As you can tell from pics above I like the weathering, stowage and such scene as well.

I am currently working on an m10 tank destroyer build and have some other builds I have lined up as well. I am also thinking of a Sherman easy eight possibly in the future.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada.
Bulldogs just look so tanky. OK, I'll bite! The forward muffler? Never seen that before.

Yeah there a lot done to that thing ... Pretty much everything minus making main turret larger and bringing the side fenders in.... Dimensions off... Other than that the top of the turret can be setup different depending on timeframe being used or country of use .... Also the rear slope past the engine deck could be sloped more but did not do that either.

Thanks for the compliments on that tank ... Defo appreciated. A good amount of mods there, and my baptism in RC lol. Parts I made up to be believable even since I did not have the parts like the spare track arrangement but believable I thought.

Cool. I've only ever seen the muffler strapped on the large muffler at the rear right.
