Hello

Post by Merlin »

Hi There,

Just registered with your tank forum etc.. as off yet I have no tank but i,m doing plenty of browsing and cant make my mind up whether to go for 1/16 scale or go the extra mile and opt for 1/6 scale!.. any thoughts would be welcome?
I have read about heng long, tamiya and the differences, but the big stuff looks pretty impressive on the old you tube!!

I live near Nottingham England, whats the tank scene like in that neck of the woods? any local to that area?

Regards Merlin

PS: The name comes from one of my Bengal cats..

Hello Merlin, welcome to our forum. Several members do have larger scale tanks and we do have a forum section of larger scale builds and mods. I can't advise you on which way to go. But I'm sure if you need some assistance it will be here for you.

cheers Saxondog

Thanks for the replies.. will make my mind up sooner or later, just enjoying finding things out at the moment, I have lots of military books at home and i have always liked the Tiger's.. then who doesn't!

Welcome to the forum Merlin! When I saw you had a bengal cat, I imediately assumed you must have a Tiger lol. Heng Long 1/16 scale are a cheap fun way to get into the hobby (Theres a few recommend vendors here too and I would thoroughly recomend buying from one of them) so I would just go ahead and get one of them for a start as they are ready to run and you will have something to play with while you build your 1/6 scale.
