Hi Is there any clubs and meets/ shows in these areas? I live in grantham, lincs and have been a scratch builder for 30 odd years doing boats, amphips., cars and trucks and now I'm trying tanks. I have a HL tiger 1, a walter bulldog, and a Panther from Heng long that I brought broken and have rebuilt them learning a lot on how these models work (hate the electrics) I have since obtained a wreck of a Tamyia Gepard and am in the process of restoring it to I hope full working order. And I'm in the process of building a 1956 Centurian Bridge Layer in 1/16 scale fitted with the type 5 bridge which I'm hoping to get fully working eventually. My home area was Kings Lynn and I know about the Muckleburough Collection which have an open weekend in june. Do any clubs take their models there? and is there any other meets/shows.
regards Denzil.

uktankclub Only seem to be up at muckleboroug for 2days only ..The rest of the time they are traveling all round various parts of the country.
That is some thing i wouldn't be able to do. So that for me kind of doesn't fit the bill. But thx for the heads up on that Fv432.

It may well be possible to do just that..all depends on how many model tankers ,we have in the county.
So if they post up we can see the numbers

Hi Hawkeye,
I live in Ormesby, near Great Yarmouth, only been messing with R/C tanks since March last year after getting back into 1/35 models a couple of years before after a few years out of it. My brother is also getting into the hobby, he lives in Lincolnshire, close to Brigg. Be good if we could get a meet going.
