I've finally gotten around to cleaning the floor, so it must be time to show off the fleet! (or at least the combat ready portion

)

Hey EX_PAT_ Tanker
Nice line up there, and I like your custom DAK paint job! Hey can you re-post that first picture a little smaller,, because I blow it up and it cuts off half the pic and I want to check out the other tanks you have there! Happy New Year Mart!

Happy new year to you too, my friend!
Yeah that one needs cutting down a little more - I suspect I cropped it and forgot to reduce it :-\
[edit]
Alrighty - give that a go!
Still waiting on the postal service to deliver the control boards for the T34 and Kursk Panzer III, and the IR detector for the Su-76i but they can quickly be made ready to fight once I have those parts!
There's also a white T34/85 thats in a similar state, waiting for its DBC.

Hi BIGMIG,
Thats just the tip of the spear, got plenty more projects up my sleves...

The seemingly bottemless pit that the motor industry has fallen into has dented my spending power considerably, but that just motivates me to focus on the projects that I've started:
For instance: If I have to move back home I have to be able to prove ownership of all my stuff for more than 6 months to avoid import duty - I guess that means no more tank shopping for me! I'm forced to focus on the projects I have already

Secondly, there's a "no shipping flamable goods in the container that the company provides" clause for shipping my stuff home - So I guess its a case of spray it if ya got it!
Either way my New Years Resolution is to be either out of paint or out of projects before I become out of work.

Mart

Great looking fighting force you've got there. The 835 camo came out nice.

Thanks 'Charlie - the more I look at it the less inclined I am to touch it up, last time I tried to do that on a tank I made a complete pigs ear of the job!
@ Pete,
You might want to look into the legality of those new channels - rctank.de has 3 new channels, but none of them are in a frequency range that are allowed to be used for RC models either over here or in the UK
